(LPAN) The 3rd Laos - Vietnam Border Defense Friendship Exchange officially began on the morning of July 9 at Nam On Border Gate in the Laos.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Laos Gen. Khamliang Outhakaysone presided over a welcome ceremony for Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Gen. Phan Van Giang and the Laos - Vietnamese delegation, arriving in Bolykhamxay province to participate in the exchange activities.
At the border gate, the two top officials took part in ceremonial activities, including saluting and painting the border marker, planting a friendship tree, and posing for commemorative photographs.
Following its successful editions in 2021 and 2024, the Laos - Vietnam Border Defense Friendship Exchange has become a spotlight of defense cooperation between the two countries. Combining profound political significance with practical value, the program has strengthened substantive cooperation among border protection forces, local authorities, and people living in the border areas of both nations, while further reinforcing the Laos - Vietnam special solidarity. Its impact extends beyond the activities of each exchange program, as reflected in the day-to-day coordination and concrete cooperation between the two countries' border protection forces along their shared border.
This year's exchange carries added significance as it coincides with the 49th anniversary of the signing of the Laos - Vietnam Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (July 18, 1977 - 2026).
