Vientiane (VNA) – The Lℱao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) have always stood side by side, demonstrating solidarity and mutual support, 𒁃said Secretary of the LPRP Central Committee and Vice President of the Lao National Assembly Sounthone Xayachak.
In an interview granted to Vietnam News Agency in Vientiane, she highlighted close cooperation between the two parties and its significance to each country's revolutionary cause, emphasising that Laos and Vietnam take great pride in their long-standing relationship. Since the founding of the Indochinese Communist Party, the revolutionary paths of the two nations have been inseparably linked, with both countries fighting side by side against common enemies and always ready to make sacrifices for one another.
Laos and Vietnam also share a deep sense of pride in the fact that their ruling parties originated from a common root, the Indochinese Communist Party founded by President Ho Chi Minh in 1930. Over the decades, the two parties fought shoulder to shoulder against invaders, ultimately achieving complete victory in 1975. Since Laos' liberation that same year, the two Parties, States, and people of both nations have continued to uphold their tradition of solidarity and mutual support.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the LPRP’s founding and the 50th anniversary of Laos’ National Day, as well as Vietnam’s upcoming 50th anniversary of national reunification, Xayachak expressed her profound gratitude and deep respect for the Laos-Vietnam combat alliance. She paid tribute to the sacrifices made by Vietnamese volunteer soldiers, known as "Uncle Ho’s soldiers", who devoted themselves to supporting the Lao revolution and regarded Laos as their second homeland.
The Vice President reaffirmed her commitment to working closely with Vietnamese comrades to preserve and strengthen the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties, States, and peoples of Laos and Vietnam for generations to come.
She extended her best wishes to the Party, State and people of Vietnam, expressing her hope for their continued success in building a strong, prosperous, and equitable Vietnam, as well as in the successful organisation of the 14th National Congress of the CPV./.
