The Laos-Vietnam relationship was founded by the great President Ho Chi Minh, President Kaysone Phomvihane, and President Souphanouvong, and has been built upon by generations of leaders of the two Parties, two States, and the people of the two countries to become a symbol of international solidarity and a precious asset of the two countries. It is a great source of strength for the two countries, serving as a foundation for Vietnam and Laos to develop together, and pass on to future generations.

The article commented that the visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith, which was made immediately after the State visit of To Lam to Laos as President in July 2024, is a vivid demonstration of the great friendship, special solidarity between the two Parties, two States, and peoples of Laos and Vietnam.

The visit was carried out in the context of the two Parties and two countries vigorously implementing the Resolutions of each Party and preparing for Party Congresses at all levels, towards the National Congress.
