President Thuong expressed his belief that the workshop on cultural and human development in the development pathway toward socialism - experiences of Vietnam and Laos will be a success, contributing to deepening relations between the two Parties and countries.

According to the President, members of the Central Theoretical Council will extensively impart their wealth of experiences gained by Vietnam to the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party to study, consider, and refine its Platform on national construction.

The Lao Deputy PM said the theoretical workshop between the two Parties takes place at a time when the Lao People's Revolutionary Party is preparing to build a Political Platform.

The theoretical workshop with the Communist Party of Vietnam is extremely important and its content and topics are the basis for Laos to develop documents of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Congress, he said.
