He said that under the LPRP's clear-sighted leadership and with the front's unwavering commitment to fostering unity among patriotic Lao people from all social strata, the Lao people have reaped numerous significant achievements in national development and defence, with security – politics firmly maintained, economic expansion boosted, and people's material and spiritual life quality unceasingly improved.

Vietnamese and Lao officials reiterated their resolve to further deepen the Vietnam–Laos great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation, while maintaining close coordination at multilateral platforms and on regional issues.

Hugh Jeffrey, Deputy Secretary of Strategy, Policy, and Industry at the Australian Department of Defence, highly valued Vietnam's increasingly active role in peacekeeping missions and expressed confidence in the growing, practical, and deeper cooperation between the two countries.
