The Chinese delegation held a welcoming ceremony at Mohan Port. Wang Xianfeng, Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the Southern War Zone, and Sai Zhai, Vice Minister of Defense and Chief of General Staff of Laos, went to the Sino-Lao border monument and took a group photo. Delegations from both sides visited the Chinese border guard company, reviewed the results of previous friendly exchanges, observed light weapons equipment, drone training, and planted a tree of friendship. Afterwards, they donated teaching materials to Shuangyong Hope Primary School in Mohan Town. On the morning of the 13th, Wang Xianfeng and Sai Zhai held talks. The two sides stated that they should implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two parties and the two countries, and continue to deepen the all-weather common destiny building between China and Laos in the new era. China and Laos are neighbors with a common destiny and common beliefs. Entering a new era, the traditional friendship between China and Laos continues to be consolidated, strategic mutual trust continues to deepen, and highly resilient security cooperation continues to reach a new level. In the next step, the two sides will continue to cooperate closely in building cooperative brands, continuing to deepen cooperation in exercises and training, and strengthening exchanges and interaction at all levels. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Laos and the “Year of Friendship between China and Laos.” As the Sino-Lao border defense friendship exchange activities continue to be carried out, there are many highlights of exchanges and cooperation between the two armies, and bilateral cooperation is becoming more practical. Through joint maintenance of border security and stability, it helps promote the further development of the traditional friendship between “comrades plus brothers” between China and Laos.
