VIENTIANE, Laos – Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and his Lao counterpart Thongloun Sisoulith co-chaired the 40th meeting of the Việt Nam-Laos Inter-Governmental Committee in Vientiane, Laos yesterday.
The Lao PM congratulated Việt Nam on its socio-economic achievements in 2017 and showed his deep gratitude to the Party, State, Government and people of Việt Nam for supporting Laos.
He highlighted the significance of the committee’s 40th meeting, especially as the two countries completed the Laos-Việt Nam, Việt Nam-Laos Solidarity and Friendship Year 2017 and activities marking the 55th anniversary of their diplomatic ties and 40 years of the bilateral Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.
He expressed his belief that following the meeting the partnership between the two countries will be deepened and the traditional friendship between the two countries will be brought to a new height.
PM Phúc expressed his delight at Laos’ achievements in the past year, saying that he believes the Party, State, Government and people of Laos will continue to successfully implement the resolution of the 10th Congress of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and the country’s socio-economic plan.
He underlined that ties between Việt Nam and Laos are special and need to be developed, affirming that Việt Nam always attaches special importance to boosting relations with Laos, and will exert every efforts to enhance ties in all fields.

Meanwhile, mechanisms in coordinating and strengthening co-operation between the two sides were effective. Vietnamese enterprises have registered to invest in 411 projects worth about US$3.7 billion in Laos, 43 per cent of which, or $1.6 billion, have been disbursed.
In 2017, two-way trade exceeded $935 million, up nearly 13.6 percent from 2016, surpassing the yearly target.
In 2018, the two sides will focus on implementing the joint statement and agreements reached by senior leaders, as well as deals between ministries, sectors and localities.
They will double efforts to achieve 10 per cent growth in two-way trade, while expanding collaboration in human resources training, investing in transport infrastructure projects to connect the two countries and coordinating in managing the sustainable use of water and natural resources.
They will also co-operate with each other at regional and international organisations and forums.
