The Lao leader and his Spouse as well as the high-ranking Lao delegation are paying a state visit to Vietnam from September 10-13, 2024.
The visit is taking place right after To Lam was elected as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee. It is the second to Vietnam by General Secretary and President Sisoulith since the 11th National LPRP Congress in January 2021, and follows a state visit to Laos by To Lam as President of Vietnam in July 2024. It is a vivid demonstration of the great friendship, special solidarity, and faithful and pure relations between the two Parties, States, and people of Vietnam and Laos.

Besides, the Vietnam - Laos relations are flourishing and have obtained numerous important achievements.
