The Geneva Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Vietnam signed on July 21, 1954 is a victory of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the country’s revolutionary diplomacy, General Director of the Khaosan Pathet Lao (KPL - Lao News Agency) Khampheuy Philapha told the Vietnam News Agency.

Over the 60 years of the Vietnam - Laos diplomatic ties and 45 years of their Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, the close-knit relations and fruitful mutual support between the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) and Lao News Agency (KPL) have contributed to the special solidarity, cooperation and friendship between the two countries.

Thirty five years have passed since Khamphan Suvannakha attended a special class organised by the Vietnam News Agency (VNA).

The Khaosan Pathet Lao (KPL) news agency and Pasason daily of Laos have ran articles highlighting President Ho Chi Minh’s life and revolutionary career, and his close relationship with the Lao revolution, on the occasion of his 130th birthday (May 19).

Representatives from members of the Organisation of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA) and guest agencies have highly valued the theme of the 44th OANA Executive Board Meeting (OANA 44), along with the efforts of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) as host.
