Sydney (VNA) – A delegation from the Lao Embassy in Australia visited the Vietnamese Embassy on September 4 to extend their congratulations on the 79th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2024).
At the event, Lao Ambassador Sinchai Manivanh congratulated Vietnam on its significant achievements over the past 79 years, and stressed the importance of the two nations’ great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation.

In response, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Hung Tam expressed his delight at the rapid development of the nations’ cooperative relations in all fields. Vietnam will continue to support Laos in its role as the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) this year, he stated.
