Photo exhibition on Vietnam - Laos relations in Vientiane

The event is being held by Vietnam News Agency and the Lao News Agency to mark the Vietnam-Laos, Laos-Vietnam Friendship and Solidarity Year 2017.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Director of Vietnam News Agency Nguyen Duc Loi said that the year 2017 is of significance to the bilateral relations, as numerous activities have been held to celebrate the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties (September 5th) and 40 years since the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation. This is also a chance for the countries’ Party members and people to gain full and deep understanding of the importance of the relations.

Lao Deputy Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Savankhone Razmonty appreciated the event organization. He said that it reflects not only the traditional friendship and special solidarity between Laos and Vietnam, but also the long-lasting cooperation between the two news agencies.

The exhibition will run at the Lao National Cultural Hall until December 9th.
