At a meeting in Vientiane on May 30, Du briefed Choummaly Sayasone, General Secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and Lao President, on Vietnam’s socio-economic development, plans of action to translate the Resolution of the 11th Party Congress into life as well as outcomes of cooperation programmes between the two parties’ inspection commissions.

Choummaly Sayasone spoke highly of Vietnam’s achievements in socio-economic development, saying the Communist Party of Vietnam has taken the correct solutions in the context of a complex global situation and economic crisis.

He considered Vietnam’s success as Laos’ success and thanked Vietnam’s Party, State and people for their help in national defence and construction, particularly in training for Lao Party and State senior officials.

Also the same day, the Vietnamese Party delegation held working sessions with the Party Committees and inspection commissions of Vientiane and Luang Prabang provinces, discussing the implementation of Party inspection, monitoring and discipline work, especially in the fight against corruption and Party-building.

Earlier, the Vietnamese delegation held talks with their Lao counterparts on May 29 and signed documents for continued cooperation for the 2011-2015 period, focusing on exchange of visits to share experience in inspecting and monitoring Party-related work, personnel training, and cultural and art activities.
