At the reception, Bounnhang Vorachith praised the great contributions made by Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and advisors to Laos’ struggle for national independence in the past and the national construction and development at present.

He affirmed that Laos will work together with Vietnam to foster the everlasting great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
