The event is divided into three main sections according to development period of the history. The first one is about the history of Vietnam - Laos relationship and the establishment of diplomatic ties.
The second is about Vietnam-Laos special solidarity in the cause of national construction and development from 1977 to 1986, especially the bilateral Treaty on Amity and Cooperation, and bilateral cooperation in the first years of addressing war consequences.
The third is about Vietnam-Laos special solidarity and traditional friendship over the past of 30 years of renovation (from 1987 to 2017). This part captures visits by leaders of the two countries’ Parties and States to elevate the bilateral cooperation to a new height across politics, external affairs, security, defence, economics, culture, society, education and training; and recognizes the contribution of leaders of two countries’ Parties and States in the preservation and promotion of Vietnam - Laos special relations.
