On behalf of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai sent her warmest congratulations on the success of the 12th National Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. The success of the Congress once again affirmed the political, ideological, organizational and leadership unity within the Party; and marked a major development step of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party; especially warmly congratulating Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith on continuing to receive absolute trust in holding the position of General Secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. This shows the high trust of the entire Party and people of Laos in Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith.
According to Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai, the special relationship between Vietnam and Laos, beloved by the great President Ho Chi Minh, President Kayson Phomvihan and President Souphanouvong, and nurtured by generations of leaders and peoples of the two countries, has become a model, faithful, and pure relationship, rare in the history of international relations, and an invaluable common asset of the two nations.
The Vietnam Fatherland Front and member organizations always consider preserving and developing Vietnam-Laos relations as a responsibility and also an order from their hearts. In that spirit, from January 28 to 30, 2026, the Fatherland Fronts of the two countries will coordinate to organize an international conference on building a peaceful, friendly, cooperative and developing Vietnam-Laos border in 2026 in Nghe An province with the participation of the Fronts of 10 provinces in Laos and 9 provinces and cities of Vietnam sharing a border to concretize the Party Congress Resolution of each country, especially to concretize the spirit of the Joint Statement of the high-level meeting between the two Parties in December 2025 on deepening the relationship of "Great Friendship, Special Solidarity, Comprehensive Cooperation, Strategic Linkage" between the two countries.
Providing information about the highlights in the activities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the past time, Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai said that 2025 is the year the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations, and mass organizations assigned by the Party and State to arrange the organizational structure to ensure streamlining, effective and efficient operation. The arrangement helps the Front better fulfill its role as the political core, listen to thoughts and aspirations, and promptly resolve hot spots arising from the grassroots level.
From the content of the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, in the coming time, the Front will continue to promote its role not only as a place to gather and promote the strength of the spirit of great national unity but also to promote the role of sharp social supervision and criticism, helping the Party and State to plan policies closer to reality. With innovative thinking, the Vietnam Fatherland Front wishes to closely coordinate and share experiences with the Lao Front in building the country to continue to innovate the content and methods of operation so that the activities of the Fatherland Fronts of the two countries become more substantive and in-depth.
Thanking Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai for her best wishes, Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith expressed his joy and emotion at the warm and respectful reception of the Party, State, and people of Vietnam for the high-level delegation of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
General Secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, President of the Lao People's Democratic Republic Thongloun Sisoulith affirmed: The Fronts of the two countries play an important role for the two Parties, associated with the historical process of the two countries and of great significance in the next stage.
From the success of the Party Congresses of the two countries, Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith proposed that the two agencies continue to maintain tradition and closely coordinate to successfully complete the assigned tasks.
Welcoming and highly appreciating the coordination of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the Lao Front for National Construction to organize the international conference on building the Vietnam - Laos border of peace, friendship, cooperation and joint development in 2026 in Nghe An province, Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith expressed his wish that the two agencies will coordinate to organize more meaningful activities; and at the same time promote exchange and sharing of lessons learned so that the Front's activities become more substantive, mobilizing people to support and contribute to building the two Parties and two countries to become more and more developed.
