The two sides will step up collaboration in the communication work to raise public awareness of the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the Parties, States and peoples of the two countries, as well as achievements they have recorded across spheres.

They will also select a number of documents and publications for translation to serve the communication work, join hands to develop information products in the two countries, and facilitate the exchange and cooperation between information and education boards at all levels, especially in border localities.

A cooperation plan will be rolled out to popularise major celebrations of the two Parties and States.

During their talks earlier, the officials briefed each other on the situation of their respective Parties and countries, and consented to intensify the communication work to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties (September 5, 1962), 45 years of the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (July 18, 1977) and the Vietnam-Laos, Lao-Vietnam Friendship and Solidarity Year 2022.

On this occasion, the Vietnamese commission presented 20 computers to the Lao side.
