Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday called for advancing the building of a China-Laos community with a shared future, as the two countries mark the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane in Beijing.

Wang pointed out China and Laos are friendly socialist neighbors sharing common ideals and beliefs, the same social system and similar development paths.

He recalled that in June, the top leaders of the two parties and countries jointly announced the building of an all-weather China-Laos community with a shared future in the new era.

China is ready to work with Laos to implement the important consensus reached by the two leaders, steadily advance the building of China-Laos community with a shared future and jointly safeguard regional peace and tranquility, the top Chinese diplomat said.
