The Vietnamese General Secretary always paid close attention to and made positive contributions to preserving and cultivating the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties, States and people of Laos and Vietnam, added the Lao leader
He also acknowledged Nguyen Phu Trong’s role in fostering the Laos-Vietnam-Cambodia relations through the summit meeting of leaders of the three countries’ ruling parties, contributing to strengthening relations between the three countries in the new era.
Meanwhile, the Cambodian People’s Party also lauded the Vietnamese General Secretary’s contributions to enhancing cooperation between Cambodia and Vietnam
Since Nguyen Phu Trong took the role of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2011, relations between Cambodia and Vietnam have been increasingly strengthened and developed, bringing benefits for the people of both countries, said Sok Eysan, spokesperson for the Cambodian People’s Party.
Nguyen Phu Trong had inherited and promoted the legacy built and nurtured by previous leaders in the close bond between Cambodia and Vietnam, he noted.
The spokesperson recalled Vietnam’s valuable assistance to Cambodia in overthrowing the Pol Pol genocidal regime in 1979, and said the Party, State and people of Vietnam under the leadership of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong also kept providing assistance to Cambodia in later periods.
Those recorded gains serve as the legacy and extremely valuable experience for future elite leaders in continuing to preserve the relationship of solidarity, friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two brotherly countries, he stressed.
