The LPRP and Lao people highly appreciate and congratulate the CPV and the Vietnamese people on these accomplishments.

“We firmly believe that under the clear-sighted and sound leadership of the CPV headed by Party General Secretary and President Nguyễn Phú Trọng, the heroic Vietnamese people will reap new achievements and implement successfully the resolution adopted at the 12th National Congress of the CPV, for the target of wealthy people, strong country and a democratic, equal and civilised society, looking towards the 13th National Party Congress,” the message read.

The Communist Party of China said it always attaches great importance to the development of relation with the CPV and is willing to partner with the CPV to intensify strategic exchanges, boost political trust, and share theoretical and practical experiences in Party building and national governance while learning from each other and providing mutual support in exploring each country’s unique path to socialism, as well as developing China-Việt Nam relation in a healthy and stable manner.
