Practical cooperation between China and Laos has yielded fruitful outcomes, with the construction of the China-Laos community with a shared future progressing towards higher standards, higher quality and higher level, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Thursday.
Recently, at the invitation of China, General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith attended the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus" Meeting and the events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and paid a working visit to China, said Guo Jiakun, the spokesman.
This morning, the leaders of both sides held a meeting and reached important common understandings, he added. "China and Laos are socialist friends and neighbors. Laos is among the first to jointly build a community with a shared future bilaterally with China. Since the latest Five-Year Plan of Action for building a China-Laos community with a shared future was signed, fruitful outcomes have been achieved in China-Laos cooperation in various fields," Guo said.
"Recently, both sides have signed multiple cooperation documents, including the intergovernmental agreement on 'Juxtaposed Border Control' arrangements for China-Laos Railway, supported the building of state-level large-scale model in Laos, made important cooperation outcomes in areas including artificial intelligence, satellite navigation, healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, and inspection and quarantine, and promoted the building of a high-standard, high-quality, and high-level China-Laos community with a shared future," he said.
"Under the new circumstances, China is ready to work with Laos to follow the important common understandings between the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, strengthen strategic communication, deepen practical cooperation, advance the steady and sustained development of China-Laos community with a shared future, benefit the people in two countries, and make positive contributions to peace, stability, development and prosperity of the region and the world," said the spokesman.
