That was the statement of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc during talks with General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and President Bounnhang Volachith on the sidelines of the 28th and 29th ASEAN Summits on September 6. The PM pledged that he will instruct ministries, agencies and localities to continue realising high-level agreements between the two countries, including the joint statement issued during the official visit to Vietnam by the Lao Party General Secretary and President in April 2016.
The two sides agreed to effectively translate the reached agreements into deeds and coordinate with each other to organise the annual meeting of the two Political Bureaus and the 39th meeting of the Vietnam-Laos Intergovernmental Committee later this year, along with the fourth theoretical conference between the two Parties.
