He will hold talks and meetings with key Lao leaders, engage with former Lao leaders, and work with various Lao ministries. He will also participate in joint Vietnam-Laos events.

The visit aims to realise the outcomes of the two Politburos’ meeting in September 2024, prepare for the 2025 meeting among leaders of the three ruling parties of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, and significant events in the bilateral relations and those of each country.

The two sides will seek measures to enhance political and diplomatic cooperation, strengthen security and defence collaboration, promote economic-trade-investment ties, advance educational and cultural exchanges, and particularly deepen the connectivity between the two economies through transportation and business connections, as well as the effective implementation of major joint projects./.
