Zhao, chairman of China's National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said China is ready to work with Laos to implement the strategic consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, and jointly build a high-standard, high-quality and high-level China-Laos community with a shared future.
