He proposed establishing practical cooperation mechanisms to encourage people, businesses and organisations in Laos and Yunnan Province to expand exchanges in education, public health, arts and culture, tourism and other fields.
He also emphasised closer interaction between communities along the Laos-China border, including mutual visits, consultations and joint activities, particularly on important occasions for the two countries. Such cooperation would help maintain a peaceful, friendly and cooperative border that supports development.
Yang thanked the Lao side for its warm welcome and outlined the association’s activities and objectives. She reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cooperation with the Central Lao-China Friendship Association and serving as a bridge for exchanges and collaboration across various sectors.
