BANGKOK, Oct 13 Lao Ambassador to Thailand Ly Bounkham on Monday paid a courtesy call on Thailand’s new Chief of Defence Forces Gen Worapong Sa-nganet with both pledging to strengthen government, military and citizens cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.
Besides pledging to strengthen cooperation at all levels, Mr Ly reportedly told Gen Worapong that peace has once again returned to Thailand after the National Council for Peace and Order seized administrative power on May 22.
He also thanked the Thai military for offering military training to Lao military personnel.
In return, Gen Worapong offered his thanks and told the Lao ambassador that cooperation between the two countries would continue as before and both nations would strive to solve any problems which arise.
Laos and Thailand share an almost identical language and majority of their peoples are Buddhist.
