foreign policy of the Vietnamese Party and State in further consolidating and
developing the special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam
and Laos as recommended by President Ho Chi Minh.
The books were compiled in 2017 when the two countries
celebrated 40 years since they signed a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (July
18), and the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties (September 5).
The Vietnam-Laos relations were founded by Vietnamese President Ho Chi
Minh and his Lao counterpart Kaysone Phomvihane and have been nurtured by
generations of leaders and people of the two countries over the past more than
seven decades, becoming a valuable treasure of the two nations.
