Man hailed the LFNC Central Committee’s role in the cause of national construction and development in Laos, as well as its cooperation outcomes with the Central Committee of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front (VFF), especially their collaboration agreement for 2022-2027.
He also commended Boviengkham’s role in and contributions to raising the awareness of the public, particularly the young generation, of the special friendship between the two countries.
Man suggested the two sides continue their close coordination in implementing the agreement across spheres, facilitating the operations of Vietnamese businesses in Laos, as well as the activities of Vietnamese organisations and associations in the country, contributing to local socio-economic development and the bilateral ties.
The two front organisations should enhance cooperation through training and the sharing of experience in the areas of shared interests, and promote their role in social feedback, especially in the building and perfection of institutions and laws, supreme supervision, and making decisions on major national matters, he said.
The Vietnamese leader also urged the two front organisations to closely coordinate with NA agencies in monitoring the implementation of signed documents.
Stressing the need to step up people-to-people exchanges, he suggested the Laos-Viet Nam Friendship Association to organise more practical activities and work together with competent Lao agencies in support of Vietnamese living and working in the country.
In reply, Boviengkham said Man’s selection of Laos as the first country in Asia for his official visit reflects the special sentiments that the Party, State, and people of Viet Nam, as well as the NA Chairman himself, have reserved for the Party, State, and people of Laos.
He briefed the leader on the close ties between the Lao-Viet Nam Friendship Association and the Viet Nam-Laos Friendship Association with various practical activities, contributing to the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
Boviengkham called on the Vietnamese chief legislator to further support cooperation between the two associations in the time ahead./.
