General Secretary To Lam affirmed that the contribution to the historic victory in 1975 was thanks to the wholehearted support and effective assistance of brotherly countries and international friends, especially the shoulder-to-shoulder, "sharing the good times and the bad," and the pure and consistent loyalty of the Lao Party, State and people.
