Chinese Premier Li Qiang said here Friday that China is willing to keep closer high-level exchanges with Laos, strengthen strategic communication, stay firmly on the right direction of bilateral relations, deepen all-round cooperation in all fields, and add new impetus to the steady and lasting development of the China-Laos community of shared future.
In his meeting with President of the National Assembly of Laos Saysomphone Phomvihane, Li said China and Laos, as friendly socialist neighbors, support each other in the struggle for national independence and liberation, and learn from each other in their respective causes of reform, opening up and innovation. “Comrades and brothers” is a vivid portrayal of the traditional friendship between the two parties and two countries, Li added.
Under the strategic guidance of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese president, and Thongloun Sisoulith, general secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Lao president, China-Laos relations have entered a new era of building a community with a shared future, Li noted.
