Chairwoman of the Lao National Assembly Pany Yathotou received a delegation from the Vietnamese National Assembly’s Committee for People’s Aspirations in Vientiane on September 10.

Delegation Head Nguyen Duc Hien, who is also Head of the NA’s Committee for People’s Aspirations, told the host that the purpose of Vietnamese officials’ visit is to share with Lao relevant agencies experience drawn from the settlement of issues raised by people. Chairwoman Yathotou agreed that sharing experience on the handling of petitions and denunciations lodged by people is necessary for the two countries during their national construction and development processes. She also underscored the need for relevant ministries and departments to work closely to ensure people’s rights and interests in line with law. The Lao leader expressed her belief that the Vietnamese delegation will have useful working sessions on the field with the Lao NA’s Law Committee, the Ministry of Justice and authorities of Luang Prabang province.
