The victory over fascism holds great historical significance for peace-loving people worldwide. It symbolises peace and freedom and reminds humanity of the devastating consequences of war.
For Laos, which has been deeply affected by war, participation in the ceremony underscored the government’s consistent policy of fostering international cooperation to promote peace and development, while contributing to regional and global security and raising awareness about the dangers of war.
President Thongloun’s visit also strengthened Laos-China relations, in line with the “Four Goods” principle (good neighbours, friends, comrades and partners), and furthered the creation of a China-Laos Community with a Shared Future, delivering practical benefits to the people of both nations.
