In his letter, the Lao top leader affirmed that the election reflects the trust and high regard from the Party, State, and people of Vietnam to Luong Cuong. He said he is confident that the new President and other Vietnamese Party and State leaders will continue to lead Vietnam and its people to new greater achievements in the ongoing reform process, which aims to transform Vietnam into a modern, industrialised country with wealthy people, strong nation, and a democratic, just, and civilised society.

Thongloun Sisoulith also expressed his wish to work closely with the President to further nurture the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive collaboration between the Vietnamese and Lao Parties, states, and people, bringing practical benefits to both nations and contributing to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world./.
