On the morning of November 3rd, at the National Assembly building, the wife of the Chairman of the National Assembly, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga, received the wife of the Chairman of the Lao National Assembly, Mrs. Vandara Siphandone. Afterwards, the two wives toured the Vietnam National Assembly Museum and the underground archaeological exhibition area of the National Assembly building.
During the meeting, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga warmly welcomed Speaker of the National Assembly Sonexay Siphandone and his wife Vandara Siphandone on their official visit to Vietnam.
Expressing her emotion at Comrade Sonexay Siphandone choosing Vietnam as his first official country to visit in his new capacity, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga sincerely thanked the Speaker of the National Assembly Sonexay Siphandone and his wife for the deep affection they have shown for Vietnam.
Sharing their positive feelings about the countries and people of Vietnam and Laos, both First Ladies stated that the people of Vietnam and Laos always value and have special affection for each other. They noted that Laotian and Vietnamese women share many similarities (hospitality, diligence, gentleness, and dedication to their families), and are always close sisters, companions, and supporters of each other in all circumstances.
The two First Ladies expressed their confidence that the women of Vietnam and Laos will continue to uphold their noble qualities, closely coordinate, and work together with the people of both countries to preserve and cultivate the great friendship, special solidarity, comprehensive cooperation, and strategic partnership between Vietnam and Laos, ensuring it remains ever-lasting and enduring for generations to come.
Next, the two First Ladies visited the Vietnam National Assembly Museum – a place that preserves, conserves, and disseminates the precious values of 80 years of the Vietnamese National Assembly and honors the contributions of National Assembly leaders throughout different periods, as well as the sense of responsibility and dedication to the Fatherland and the People of generations of National Assembly representatives.
The two First Ladies also toured the underground archaeological exhibition area of the National Assembly building – a component project within the overall National Assembly building construction – a place that preserves and connects tradition and modernity, reflecting the enduring vitality of the highest center of power in history, from the pre-Thang Long era to the Ba Dinh political center of today.
