On October 22, Consul General Zhang Sheping hosted a friendly event for senior citizens in northern Laos. Attendees included representatives of veteran officials from six provinces, such as Khamkhan, former Party Secretary and Governor of Luang Prabang Province, and Sangyong, former Party Secretary and Governor of Luang Namtha Province.
Zhang Sheping stated that respecting and caring for the elderly is a traditional virtue shared by both China and Laos, and that veteran cadres are a precious asset to the nation. This friendly exchange event for veteran comrades—held in the context of the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Laos, as well as the Double Ninth Festival and the International Day of Older Persons—serves to express gratitude for the positive contributions these veterans have made toward advancing China-Laos friendly cooperation. It is an opportunity to revisit the history of the two nations’ shared struggles and joint development, and to look forward to the promising prospect of building an all-weather China-Laos community with a shared future in the new era. He wished the veteran comrades good health and longevity, and expressed his hope that they would continue to take an interest in and support the development of China-Laos relations, as well as local-level exchanges and cooperation.
Representatives of the veteran officials also visited the permanent photo exhibition at the Consulate General, which commemorates the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Laos and the "China-Laos Friendship Year."
