The two sides will continue their close coordination to effectively realise high-level agreements, outcomes of meetings of the Vietnam-Laos inter-governmental committee as well as cooperation programs between ministries, agencies and localities.

They will also further provide mutual support in COVID-19 containment and socio-economic recovery and development, while coordinating in implementing major joint projects.

The leaders agreed to soon build the Laos-Vietnam friendship park in the Lao capital city of Vientiane.

They applauded the development of the great friendship and special solidarity between the two countries. Two-way trade in the first five months of this year reached more than 570 million USD, up nearly 40 percent year-on-year. Vietnam has 208 valid projects valued at more than 5 billion USD in the neighbouring country.

The leaders shared views on a number of regional and international issues of shared concern, including the East Sea issue and the sustainable and effective use of the Mekong River’s water resources.
