He emphasized that Mr Sisavat is not only the talented and virtuous leader who greatly contributed to the revolutionary cause of the Lao people, but also a close, loyal friend who stood shoulder to shoulder with Vietnam during the struggle for national construction and defence in both nations.

In the mourning book, he wrote that Mr Sisavat’s death is a great loss to the Party, State and people of Laos, as well as his relatives. The Party, State and people of Vietnam have lost a great friend and loyal comrade.
