At the
reception, PM Phuc congratulated the Lao Party, State and people for their
achievements recorded over the past time and expressed his belief that under
the leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, Laos will successfully
implement the resolution of the Party’s 10th Congress.
He noted with pleasure the fruitfully developing traditional friendship,
special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations.
The Government leader highly valued the concrete cooperation outcomes between
the two justice ministries, saying judicial collaboration is one of the most
important contents in the bilateral ties.
Minister Xaysy Santivong said his visit aims to continue enhancing the
cooperation between the two ministries. He informed the host that the two sides
earlier had successful talks during which they exchanged experience in judicial
activities in 2018.
The Lao Ministry of Justice’s today development is thanks to the wholehearted
and valuable assistance of the Vietnamese Party, Government and justice
ministry, he said, adding that his ministry is coordinating with the Lao
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in supporting Vietnamese nationals living in Laos,
especially in terms of legal papers.
Appreciating Vietnam’s official development assistance (ODA) projects which
help the Lao Ministry of Justice with personnel training, he affirmed that the
two ministries will push forward closer and more effective coordination in the
time ahead.
PM Phuc said that on the basis of the two countries’ special friendship and
solidarity, Vietnam is ready to share with the Lao side lessons of both success
and failure in its development process.
He said that institutional building is extremely important to the development
of a country as it covers legal institutions, development policies, and
management and monitoring work.
The leader instructed the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice to provide the best
support for its Lao counterpart, not only at ministerial level but also lower
levels.
He asked the two ministries to effectively realise the agreement between the
two Governments relating to the judicial field as well as the signed agreement
on their cooperation for the 2015-2020.
