Laos will support and cooperate with Vietnam to help it perform its role as the President of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and host to the AIPA Conference in 2010.
Lao NA Chairman Thongsinh Thammavong made this statement during a reception for a Vietnamese NA delegation, led by its Vice Chairwoman, Tong Thi Phong, in Vientiane on March 9.
Phong said that the visit represents the Vietnam NA’s commitment to fully implementing the cooperative agreements previously signed between the two countries’ NA Chairmen.
She congratulated the Lao people on their socio-economic achievements, particularly in the context of the current global economic downturn, posting a GDP growth rate of 7.9 percent in 2008.
Last year saw Laos’ success in hosting several international conferences, including the 17th Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum, she added.
