Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Ba Hung thanked and highly valued the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially its Diplomatic Academy, for compiling and releasing the book right in the Laos-Vietnam Solidarity and Friendship Year.

He said the book will help Lao diplomats, especially the young, understand more about the relationship between the two countries.

The diplomat expressed the belief that when it is translated into Vietnamese, the book will also be a valuable document for Vietnamese diplomats to gain an insight into the Laos-Vietnam special relationship.
