The special point in the relationship between the two peoples of Laos and Vietnam is that we fought together against the common enemy and won victories in the history of revolution, such as: In 1945, the two countries gained power, in 1954, they won victory over the French colonialists, in 1975, they won victory in the resistance war against the US imperialists, bringing the cause of national liberation and national unification of each country to complete victory. The military cooperation between Vietnam and Laos in the two resistance wars against France and the US was an objective necessity and became a typical model of solidarity and fighting alliance between the armies of two countries with independence, sovereignty, mutual respect and trust. The relationship between the Party, State and people of the two countries is a loyal, pure relationship, respecting each other and supporting each other with all their hearts and minds. Through hardships, the loyal and pure relationship between the two Parties and the two countries has become an exemplary relationship, rare in the world, unshakable as President Kaysone Phomvihane affirmed. In the history of world revolution, there have been shining examples of proletarian internationalism, but nowhere and never before has there been such a special, long-lasting and comprehensive solidarity and fighting alliance. Many generations of Vietnamese fathers and brothers have devoted their entire lives to the Lao revolution, considering Laos as their second homeland. Across the red land of Laos, the blood of Vietnamese soldiers has mixed with the blood of Lao cadres, soldiers and people. The Lao Party, State and people are always deeply aware that every victory in the struggle for national liberation and unification in the past as well as in the renovation process of Laos today is closely linked to the solidarity, support and wholehearted and sincere assistance of the Party, State and people of Vietnam. In the hearts of every Lao cadre, party member and people, President Ho Chi Minh's words are forever engraved: "Vietnam and Laos, our two countries/ The love is deeper than the Red River and Mekong River". The special solidarity and close relationship between the two countries and peoples of Vietnam and Laos has been painstakingly built, preserved and nurtured by generations of leaders of the two Parties, two States and peoples, tempered through many harsh challenges, constantly developing comprehensively and extensively, becoming a priceless common asset of the two peoples, a rule of survival and a factor ensuring the victory of the two countries' revolutionary causes. In the new stage of development of the two countries, the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos have become more important than ever to both countries. No matter how difficult or arduous, Vietnam and Laos are determined to do their best to "preserve and protect the Vietnam - Laos relationship like protecting the apple of their eye".

In the coming time, we believe that, with the tradition of solidarity, Vietnam and Laos will continue to overcome difficulties, together fostering the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties, two States and peoples to be forever green and sustainable, contributing positively to the cause of building and defending the socialist Fatherland in each country, for peace , stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
