Sophon Leads Thai Parliamentary Delegation to Laos for Memorial

Mr. Sophon has led a delegation of the Thai parliament on an official visit to the Lao PDR with the primary objective of participating in the memorial service for the late President of the National Assembly of Laos. This visit highlights the commitment to maintaining goodwill between the legislative bodies of the two neighboring nations.

Upon arrival at Wattay International Airport in the capital city of Vientiane, the Thai parliamentary delegation received a warm welcome from high-level representatives of the National Assembly of the Lao PDR, which included key figures:

• Mr. Ngong Keosaisongkham, Vice President of the National Assembly of Laos and member of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee Politburo
• Mr. Phoxay Khaykhamphithoun, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the National Assembly of Laos, holding a rank equivalent to a minister
• The Deputy Head of the Prime Minister's Office
• Mr. Anuphap Vongnorkeo, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lao PDR

In addition to the high-ranking Lao officials, Ms. Chana Sinhasenan, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim at the Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane, along with embassy staff, were also present at the airport to welcome the Thai parliamentary delegation.

This diplomatic mission to the Lao PDR serves not only as an expression of goodwill and deep condolences over the loss of a key legislative figure in Laos but also reinforces the close, enduring bond and longstanding cooperation shared between the Thai parliament and the National Assembly of the Lao PDR.
