The New Azerbaijan Party official thanked the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Lê Hoài Trung, and Permanent Deputy Minister Nguyễn Minh Vũ for their continuous support and effective role in coordinating, connecting, and promoting bilateral relations.

Việt Nam always attaches great importance to and wishes to continue working closely with Laos to nurture and further deepen the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn stated.

The resounding success of the 14th National Party Congress demonstrates the Party’s renewed confidence, determination and forward-looking vision, laying a solid foundation for the country to advance confidently and resolutely in the new era.

Thongloun Sisoulith, General Secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) and President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith, described the 12th LPRP Congress as a landmark political event that upheld and creatively advanced the LPRP’s reform-oriented line.

In talks with China's top leader Xi Jinping, General Secretary Tô Lâm said Việt Nam held in high regards China’s role as a responsible country for regional and global peace and development, and voiced support for China’s initiatives on development, security, civilisation and global governance.

The timing reflects how far bilateral relations have come over the past 35 years – from early humanitarian cooperation in the 1990s to what is now one of the EU’s deepest and broadest partnerships in Southeast Asia.

Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính and Laos' top leader Thongloun Sisoulith expressed their satisfaction with the continuously strengthened bilateral relations, which have become increasingly substantive and effective.

The visit goes beyond protocol, providing an opportunity for leaders of the two sides to hold in-depth discussions on concrete and practical cooperation programmes, with a view to elevating Việt Nam–EU relations to higher levels.

The visit will be made at the invitation of Vietnamese State President Lương Cường.

This trip reflects the highest level of political trust, the special bond and close coordination between the two Parties and the two countries. It contributes to elevating the bilateral relations and providing strategic direction for comprehensive, effective and substantive cooperation in the new stage of development of the bilateral relationship.

The ceremony was held with the highest protocol reserved for a head of state. 

The visit underscores the exceptionally high level of political trust between the two Parties and States, as well as among their top leaders.

Nguyễn Xuân Thắng, chairman of the Central Theoretical Council and director of the Hồ Chí Minh National Academy of Politics, stated that Việt Nam can enhance productivity, quality and competitiveness by making science, technology, innovation and digital transformation central to its growth.

State budget revenue in 2026 is targeted to rise by at least 10 per cent compared with the 2025 estimate. Tax and fee reductions and land rental support will be extended to assist people and businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
