Chaleun Yiapaoher, in reply, attributed the CLV Parliament Summit’s success to the support provided by the Vietnamese N.A.

He said his visit aims to acquire experience to compile a history book marking the 50-year journey of the Lao N.A.’s establishment and development.

He briefed the host about his successful talks with N.A. Vice Chairman Nguyen Khac Dinh, and working sessions with N.A. Secretary General and Chairman of the N.A. Office Bui Van Cuong and the Legislative Research Institute to specifically discuss experiences in compiling the history book and fine-tuning legal regulations which is particularly relevant as Laos is preparing to amend its Constitution.

The host affirmed that the Vietnamese N.A. and its agencies are ready to cooperate and share experience with the Lao N.A. in building and improving the Lao legal system in the best possible way. Both sides should hold in-depth workshops to provide scientific insights for policy and law formulation.
