For his part, Trong spoke highly of the governments’ cooperation and efforts by ministries, sectors and localities in realising the agreements between the Parties and the governments.

He applauded the talks between the Vietnamese and Lao PMs, asking them to direct their countries’ ministries, sectors, localities and businesses to implement the signed deals fruitfully.

The leader also told them to further exchange information on and experience in the Party and political system building, management of the economy and society, integration into the world, and implementation of resolutions of the Parties’ national congresses.

The two sides should also seek solutions to existing difficulties so as to improve partnerships in economy, investment, trade, culture, education – training, and science – technique.

He added that amidst the complex and unpredictable developments in the region and the world, the two sides also need to increase sharing information and coordinate closely in situation forecasting.
