🇷🇺🇱🇦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held talks at the Kremlin with President of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic Thongloun Sisoulith.
💬 We are delighted to see you in Moscow, Russia, especially on the occasion of #VictoryDay, marking the victory by the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
We are marking an anniversary this year: thirty years ago our countries signed a framework friendship and cooperation treaty.
By the way, we would like to express our gratitude to Laos for handing over the T-34 tanks to us. They are symbols of Victory for us. Of course, this is instrumental in terms of being able to show them to the public and raising awareness among young people. Thank you very much.
Last year, we witnessed a rise in our trade and economic relations, even if it has been quite modest so far, with a 12 percent increase. Holders of the Mir card can use them in your country, which will definitely help attract more tourists.
We have been expanding our defence and security cooperation too.
Our two countries have been maintaining scientific and humanitarian ties. We are grateful to you, Mr President, and all your colleagues for supporting Russian language studies.
We have been effective and proactive in working together on the international stage, including within the United Nations. Promoting our strategic partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a major foreign policy priority for us. ASEAN has substantially expanded the agenda dealing with our joint efforts after Laos assumed its Chairmanship.

💬 President Vladimir Putin: Mr President, friends, Once again, I warmly welcome you all and would like to thank you, above all, for your participation in the #BRICS Summit.
We assume that our group is a prototype of multipolarity, a structure that consolidates the Global South and East.
I appreciate your comprehensive remarks. I have warm memories of our meeting in May, when you visited Moscow to participate in the celebrations marking the 79th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. We will be glad to see you in Moscow at the celebrations of the 80th Anniversary of Victory next year. #Victory80
🤝 Our relations are of a mutually beneficial nature and have already reached the level of strategic partnership. This March we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Treaty on Amity, and next year we will celebrate the 65th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations.
The absolute volumes of trade are still modest, but the trend is nevertheless very good, and it is increasing many times over.
We have close positions on most international issues. It is very important that the Lao chairmanship of the #ASEAN promotes its cooperation with Russia, and we are very grateful to you for that.
We are very pleased with your visit, Mr President, and I thank you once again.

🇱🇦 December 2 marks the 49th Anniversary of the proclamation of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
The Lao People's Democratic Republic was proclaimed in 1975 following a long and intensive struggle, combined with political and diplomatic efforts to secure the country’s neutrality amidst foreign aggression in Indochina.
🤝 The Soviet Union and Laos established diplomatic relations on October 7, 1960. On March 9, 1994, Russia and Laos signed the Treaty on the Foundations of Friendly Relations. In October 2011, Russia and Laos adopted the Declaration on Strategic Partnership in the Asia Pacific Region.
Today, our countries are steadily expanding their trust-based dialogue and the high and highest levels, as well as enhancing interaction between parliaments and sectoral agencies. They are also intensifying trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian and interregional ties within the framework of the Russia-Laos strategic partnership.
🎉 We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Lao friends on this holiday! We reaffirm our commitment to further strengthening our traditionally friendly relations and multifaceted partnership with Vientiane, in the interests of peace and stability in Southeast Asia and the entire Asia-Pacific region.
