On the occasion of CHMC’s 35th anniversary, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations.

Laos and China are close and friendly neighbors and strategic partners; we share extensive common interests and profound friendship. China has always been offering support and help to Laos’s social and economic development.

Laos is advocating the reform and opening-up, and we appreciate and shall take an active part in the proposal by Chinese government: Building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Lao government is now actively implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state, enhancing cooperation in all fields, and promoting the bilaterally cooperative project development.

I highly appreciate your participation into Laos infrastructure construction by project contracting. And I hope you can keep close ties with Electricite du Laos and other relevant departments, with concerted efforts, to ensure the smooth and accomplishment of the project construction, and to benefit the Lao people at the earliest.
