A number of delegations from Vietnamese ministries, sectors, and enterprises have visited Venezuela to seek cooperation and investment opportunities, especially in the energy industry, he noted, voicing his hope that the two sides will strongly step up collaboration in this field.

Recalling the events marking the traditional and close friendship between the Vietnamese and Venezuelan people throughout history, President Vo Van Thuong held that their numerous similarities form important prerequisites for developing a comprehensive partnership.
He asked the two sides to increase mutual visits at all levels, and the Inter-governmental Committee to take measures to foster bilateral cooperation, especially to enhance ties in the field of energy.

Expressing her honor to serve as the Ambassador of Laos to Vietnam, Ernthavanh pledged to help the great friendship, special solidarity, and cooperation grow more fruitfully in the future.
The host leader stated that the Vietnam - Laos relations are extremely special with their friendship and solidarity founded and nurtured by generations of leaders and having become a priceless common asset of both peoples. The two sides should exert stronger efforts to enhance comprehensive cooperation between their parties, states, and peoples.
As the year 2024 is highly important to Laos, which will hold the chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), relevant agencies of Vietnam will actively support the ambassador to help her fulfill duties, according to the President.
