According to the editorial, 2022 is a year full of great events between the two countries, especially two major events that are the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Laos and Vietnam and the 45th anniversary of the signing of the Friendship and Cooperation Treaty. Therefore, during the official visit to Vietnam from January 8-10, Lao Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh co-chaired the launching ceremony of the Year of Solidarity and Friendship between Vietnam and Laos. These activities will build deeper understanding and awareness in Laos and Vietnam about the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation.
The editorial encouraged Lao people, under the leadership and direction of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, to unite and work together so that 2022 is the year to raise awareness of the pure and loyal friendship, making it become a solid foundation for promoting the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
The Pasaxon Newspaper editorial said that, from previous experiences in organizing the celebration of the Vietnam-Laos and Laos-Vietnam Friendship Year 2017, the National Steering Committee have met many times to perfect the apparatus as well as divide the work for the sub-committees.
For this anniversary to have even better results, the editorial emphasized that Party committees at all levels need to be clearly aware of and focus on fostering political ideology so that Party members as well as people, especially the young people, better understand the tradition, the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, which is forever a precious heritage of the two nations.
