In Sunday reception for a high-ranking delegation from the Lao Ministry of Public Security led by General Vilay Lakhamphong, Politburo member, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Public Security, the Party leader suggested that both sides continue to promote their fine traditions, enhance mutual support and close collaboration, exchange information and share experience in combating activities aimed at destabilizing each country by hostile forces, preventing peaceful evolution, and fighting transnational crime, especially drug trafficking.

These efforts, he affirmed, will help ensure security and order, and build a shared borderline of peace, stability and development, with both sides firmly resisting hostile forces from using one country’s territory to undermine the other.

The Lao official thanked Vietnam for the substantial, timely, and effective support and assistance it has provided to Laos over the years, including helping Laos successfully host the ASEAN and AIPA Summits in 2024.

He said that the Lao Ministry of Public Security will continue to uphold traditions and closely coordinate with its Vietnamese counterpart in firmly protecting national security and maintaining social order and safety in all circumstances, contributing to strengthening and enhancing the special Laos-Vietnam relationship.
