HANGZHOU, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called on China and Laos to build an unshakable community of common destiny.
Xi made the remarks as he met with Laotian President Bounnhang Vorachit ahead of the G20 Hangzhou summit. Bounnhang has been invited to attend the summit as a guest, as his country currently holds ASEAN rotating presidency.
Xi said that during the 55 years since diplomatic relations were established, the two countries have cooperated in various areas, to the benefit of both peoples.
During Bounnhang's China visit in May, the two countries agreed on comprehensive strategic cooperation in the new era, Xi said.
China and Laos should advance their comprehensive strategic partnership and join hands in building a community of common destiny, Xi said.
