Both countries should work closely together to implement agreements that had been reached between the two sides, including agreements resulting from the visit to Vietnam last month by Party chief cum State President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
The two leaders also mentioned bilateral cooperation in assisting the United States to account for Americans missing in action. Both countries will join forces in MIA issues along the joint border, and will regularly exchange information on this.
Vietnam and Laos will work closely with Cambodia to promote cooperation in the Growth Triangle among the three countries.

Sorry to say that Cambodia don't need any cooperation with the Viet or the Loa! The current situation demand that every man for himself! Beside Cambodia had seen the fruit of the so called cooperation and solidarity or brotherhood and it is going nowhere and the Vietcong continue to take Cambodian land to promote their real estate market! Also the Vietcong are dumping dirt cheap dangerous products in Cambodia to kill Cambodian business and the free flow of million and million of illegal Viet into Cambodia are force ordinary poor Cambodian people to work twice as hard just to put food on the table!(work for one dollar aday!)
I wonder what AH HUN SEN has anything to say about this! If he can't say or talk then somebody need to hit him in the mouth and make him talk! Damn bastard!
Get lost! Your picture bothers me to no end!
You know why you don't like my picture? It is not that my picture is ugly but it is plain and simple!
It is a very clear picture that the Vietcong steal Cambodian land to promote their real estate market and AH HUN SEN in turn steal land from poor Cambodian people to promote his own real estate market or give it to the rich for big buck!
It is you who must get lost for you don't see the picture clearly!ahahaha
