The 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam takes place in a particularly important juncture, marking a new stage of development for Vietnam after 80 years of national founding and four decades of implementing the Doi Moi (Renovation) policy, deep international integration, and proactive participation in regional and global processes. The Congress is not only a major political event for Vietnam, but also one of great significance to international friends, including neighboring countries, traditional and strategic partners of Vietnam.

We highly appreciate the great and historically significant achievements the Party, State, and people of Vietnam have attained during the past term, particularly in maintaining political and social stability, restoring and developing the economy, improving people's liveing standards, and continuously enhancing Vietnam's position and prestige in the international arena. These achievements further affirm the correct, steadfast, and wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the unity and solidarity of the entire Vietnamese nation.

We believe that, with the spirit of "Unity – Democracy – Discipline – Innovation – Development," the 14th National Congress will set forth correct strategic directions, creating a solid foundation for Vietnam to enter a new stage of development that is faster and more sustainable, successfully achieving the goal of becoming a developing country with modern industry and high middle income, towards the vision of 2045.

We hope and are confident that, on the basis of the strategic orientations determined by the 14th National Congress, the great friendship, sepcial solidearity, comprehensive cooperation, and strategic cohesion between Vietnam and Laos will continue to be strengthened and developed even more strongly, for the practical benefit of the people of both countries, and for peace, stability, and sustainable development of the region.

Once again, we wish the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam great success.

Wishing the Communist Party of Vietnam continued strength, and wishing Vietnam ever greater prosperity, happiness, and an increasingly prominent position on the international stage.

Sincere congratulations!
