The successful development of China and Laos is the success of the socialist cause as China and Laos are both socialist countries under the leadership of their respective communist parties, and share the same ideals, beliefs and pursuits, Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, told Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Saleumxay Kommasith on Monday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, called on the two sides to implement the strategic consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and countries, carry forward the traditional friendship, deepen political mutual trust, and synergize development strategies to lift bilateral ties to a new level.

He noted that as a socialist country, China is willing to work with Laos to firmly support each other in safeguarding their core interests, oppose external interference and containment, strengthen governance exchanges and deepen practical cooperation, Wang added.

He also mentioned the China-Laos railway, saying the two countries should fully leverage the role of the railway as a model and bond, and speed up the building of the China-Laos Economic Corridor, so as to bring benefit to the peoples of the two countries.

"China is ready to work with Laos to uphold ASEAN centrality, uphold open regionalism, safeguard our shared home, and create a better environment for regional development and revitalization," Wang said.

For his part, Saleumxay said Laos is ready to strengthen cooperation with China in various fields, jointly build a high-quality Belt and Road, construct a Laos-China community with a shared future, and promote the development of the cause of socialism.
