Nguyen affirmed that the Ha Noi Party Committee, authorities and people always attach great importance to consolidating and developing friendship and cooperation with Vientiane, considering it as one of the particularly important tasks in the capital's external relations.
Ha Noi welcomes stronger people-to-people exchanges, training cooperation and experience sharing between the two sides, particularly in the fields of propaganda, education and ideological work, he noted, adding that the city gives priority to developing training programs and professional exchanges between the two sides.
The host proposed that the two sides coordinate with the Le Hong Phong Cadre Training School in Ha Noi City to develop annual exchange and training programs, as well as organize professional training courses on propaganda, communications, information and digital transformation for key officials of Vientiane.
Both sides should continue to step up delegation exchanges, information sharing, and coordination in communications and education on the traditions of the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Viet Nam and Laos, and between Ha Noi and Vientiane, among officials, Party members and people, particularly the younger generations of the two capitals, stressed Nguyen.
For his part, Khotsay said that one of the key focuses of the visit was to discuss coordination in organizing activities to mark the 65th anniversary of the establishment of Viet Nam-Laos diplomatic relations and the 55th anniversary of the signing of the Viet Nam-Laos Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.
In addition, building on the agreements already signed, the Vientiane Propaganda and Training Board wishes to continue discussions with Ha Noi's focal agencies to promote the implementation of concrete cooperation programs in the coming period.
The guest expressed his hope that Ha Noi and Vientiane would further strengthen professional exchanges and experience sharing, contributing to socio-economic development associated with science and technology, innovation and digital transformation./.
