Over the years, the VNA bureau in Laos has remained dedicated to gathering and delivering timely, accurate, and comprehensive news in various formats, including articles, photos, and videos. Its coverage spans political, economic, and social affairs in Laos, as well as the bilateral relationship. 
Samnieng Sengkhiyavong, an editor at the Vietnamese-language division of the Lao National Radio, praised VNA’s extensive network of resident bureaus in Vietnam and abroad, which allows it to provide fast, diverse, and timely information.

Accessing the VNA website is very useful, and I see that VNA has extensively disseminated information worldwide. VNA provides diverse and comprehensive coverage of Laos, including investment, business, and the dissemination of the policies and guidelines of the Parties and governments of both countries. I believe this plays a crucial role in maintaining and strengthening the relationship between Laos and Vietnam.
Vilavanh Lotsouvanh, a reporter from the Lao News Agency (KPL), shared his experience of working with VNA for over a decade.

I often collaborate with VNA journalists to exchange professional knowledge. I truly appreciate VNA correspondents’ assistance, particularly in sharing photos and information about major events, such as high-level visits by leaders of the two countries’ Parties and States, as well as national celebrations in Laos and Vietnam.

Vice President Bounthong  praised the VNA bureau in Laos for remaining dedicated to gathering and delivering timely, accurate, and comprehensive news in various formats, including articles, photos, and videos. Its coverage spans political, economic, and social affairs in Laos, as well as the Vietnam-Laos and Laos-Vietnam relationship.

I believe that in the years ahead, the VNA bureau in Laos will continue to build on its expertise and maintain close cooperation with the Lao media sector to exchanging knowledge and experience to further develop Laos’ media, and deepen the ever-growing Vietnam-Laos relationship.
The VNA bureau in Laos and other Vietnamese media agencies in Laos play a vital role in promoting the Party’s and State’s policies of both countries to the world. Their work not only contributes to attracting foreign investment for mutual development, but also strengthens the friendship, solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries./.
