Hailing the increasingly substantive and effective Viet Nam–Laos relations across all fields, Chien highlighted the success of the recent official visit to Viet Nam by Lao N.A. President Sonexay Siphandone, which reaffirmed the close bond, trust, and political determination of the leaders of both Parties, States, and National Assemblies in fostering the great friendship, special solidarity, comprehensive cooperation, and strategic cohesion between Viet Nam and Laos.
He expressed his confidence that through this working trip, the two N.A. Offices will continue to share experiences and improve the quality of advisory and support services for legislative work, supervision, digital transformation, and the operations of local people-elected bodies.
This will help effectively implement high-level agreements, deepen inter-parliamentary cooperation, and realize the aspect of strategic cohesion in Viet Nam–Laos ties, the N.A. Vice President added.
Briefing his host on the outcomes of the talks between the two N.A. Office leaders and the 13th experience-sharing seminar, Bounchanh said that the workshop is a practical cooperative mechanism, helping carry out the agreements between the two legislatures and enhance the operational capacity of each N.A. Office.
Expressing confidence in the continued strong growth of bilateral parliamentary ties, he voiced his hope that the two sides will sustain delegation exchanges at high and other levels, effectively execute cooperation agreements, and strengthen coordination, consultation, and mutual support at regional and international parliamentary forums.
The Lao official also called for more experience sharing in lawmaking, supervision, and decision-making on major national issues, helping improve the operational quality and efficiency of both parliaments.
