The party leader made the affirmation at a meeting with the visiting Phandouang Chitvongsa, head of the Lao People's Democratic Republic's Propaganda and Training Department in Hanoi on March 12.

Vietnam wishes to exchange experiences with Laos in information propagation and training activities from the central to provincial levels, Mr Sang said.

The Lao guest said Vietnam's experience is very useful for the Lao Party in developing the country in a sustainable way. The Lao official is leading a delegation on a March 11-15 visit to Vietnam.

Earlier, the Lao Party's Propaganda and Training Department delegation held talks with a delegation from the CPVCC's Ideology and Culture Committee. The two sides signed a cooperation agreement for this year.
