Tran Luu Quang, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and head of its Commission for Policies and Strategies, underlined that the exchange of experience in building socio-economic development policies, refining institutions and policies, and particularly in SOE reform, is a practical and significant approach that contributes to maintaining stability and fostering development in both countries.
Hanoi (VNA)💟 – Tran Luu Quang, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and head of its Commission for Policies and Strategies, had a working session in Hanoi on August 12 with a delegation from the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central Committee’s Commission for State-owned Enterprise (SOE) Reform, led by Saleumxay Kommasith, Politburo member, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the commission.
Quang described the delegation's Vietnam visit as an important and practical step in further deepening the special solidarity between Vietnam and Laos. He congratulated Laos on its achievements in implementing the Resolution of the LPRP’s 11th National Congress, and expressed his satisfaction at the increasingly substantive and effective cooperation between the two Parties and States across a wide range of fields.
He underlined that the exchange of experience in building socio-economic development policies, refining institutions and policies, and particularly in SOE reform, is a practical and significant approach that contributes to maintaining stability and fostering development in both countries.
Quang briefed the Lao delegation on the CPV and State’s key orientations, guidelines and policies for SOE restructuring and reorganisation. He emphasised that SOE reform in Vietnam has always been conducted under the Party leadership, identified as a central task to strengthen the leading role of the state sector while promoting sustainable growth.
The host shared Vietnam’s experience in building a transparent and coherent legal framework, balancing state management with enterprise autonomy, modernising governance mechanisms, and improving the capacity of managers and workers. He discussed the challenges encountered during the reform process and the lessons drawn from the Party’s leadership and guidance in practice.
For his part, Kommasith expressed his pleasure at visiting Vietnam and thanked Quang for sharing of valuable experience. He congratulated Vietnam on its historic achievements in the Doi Moi (Renewal) process, describing them as an inspiration for Laos, and voiced confidence that under the CPV’s leadership, the Vietnamese people will continue to secure new successes and advance into a new era of national development.
The Lao Deputy PM noted that Vietnam’s experience in SOE management and development shares many similarities with Laos’s circumstances, especially as the country accelerates economic reform and deepens international integration. He outlined Laos’s recent economic progress and the challenges it faces in SOE reform, stressing that Vietnam’s lessons in legal framework building, policy refinement, governance innovation and operational efficiency will be valuable for Lao enterprises./.
In any circumstances, the Lao People’s Army will always stand shoulder to shoulder with its Vietnamese counterpart to safeguard both nations and nurture their great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation.
Regarding the East Sea issue, Vietnam reaffirmed its consistent stance of solving all disputes through peaceful means, in accordance with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien reaffirmed Vietnam’s cooperative spirit and readiness to work closely through designated agencies, ensuring all collaboration aligns with legal regulations and benefits both parties.
According to Decisions No. 1720/QD-TTg, Le Thanh Hai was removed from the title of the Chairman of the city People’s Committee and other positions he once held for violations and wrongdoings while performing his duties.
Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh has highlighted the upcoming exhibition on national achievements on the occasion of the country's 80th National Day as an unprecedented, large-scale event with diverse content, urging all stakeholders to demonstrate the highest sense of responsibility to make it commensurate with 80 years of national construction and defence.
Chien reaffirmed Vietnam’s stance on the settlement of disputes through peaceful measures in accordance with international law, particularly the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), as well as full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and early finalisation of a substantive, effective Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).
PM Pham Minh Chinh expressed his hope that Japanese enterprises will continue standing side by side with Vietnam on the development path, thereby benefiting the two business communities, both countries, and their peoples.
The signing of the agreement is part of the efforts to concretise the joint statement issued during the visit to Cuba by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee To Lam in September last year.
Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam's spouse, Ngo Phuong Ly, expressed her hope that the RoK will share its experience and work with Vietnam to foster closer collaboration in cultural industry.
Eighty years since the historic autumn of 1945, the Vietnamese nation has overcome countless challenges to gain its independence and gradually develop thanks to the revolutionary path that is both resolute and flexible under the leadership of the Party.
Party General Secretary To Lam said since Vietnam and the RoK established their diplomatic ties in 1992 and upgraded their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2022, they have enjoyed expanded collaboration, delivering tangible benefits to their peoples and businesses.
The state visit to the RoK by Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam and his spouse was a great success, marking a significant milestone and opening a new chapter in the Vietnam–RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
State President Luong Cuong sent a congratulatory message to President of the Republic of Ecuador Daniel Noboa on the occasion of the 216th National Day of the South American country (August 10).
Vietnam and the RoK should maintain regular exchanges at all levels, especially high level, across the Party, State, Government, National Assembly, and people-to-people channels; expand cooperation in diplomacy, national defence-security, economy, and sci-tech; and effectively realise existing cooperation mechanisms and agreements, said Party leader To Lam.
Party General Secretary Lam called on the RoK to help enhance the capacity of Vietnamese firms to integrate more deeply into the global supply chains of Korean companies, and to encourage Korean businesses to expand investment in Vietnam, particularly in infrastructure development, high-tech electronics manufacturing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and smart cities.
Vietnamese brides in the Republic of Korea urged educational support, particularly access to Vietnamese language classes for their children, age-appropriate curricula, and resources for single mothers while meeting with Ngo Phuong Ly, spouse of Party General Secretary To Lam.
President of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Lee Jae Myung emphasised that the first visit to the RoK by General Secretary Lam in his capacity as the top leader of Vietnam holds special significance as it creates strong momentum for enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening political trust, and further promoting the RoK – Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the next phase.
The supervision team urged the Government to promptly issue a national human resources development strategy until 2030, with a vision to 2050, and ensure sufficient funding for strategy implementation.
The leaders noted that the two sides had agreed to turn scientific and technological cooperation into a pillar and a new highlight of bilateral relations.
This is a crucial session to consider and give opinions on a wide range of issues to be submitted to the NA's 10th sitting – the final of the current term, which will review the 2021–2026 tenure and prepare for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s first general election.
