Additionally, the Vietnamese delegation engaged in talks with a delegation from the LFNC Central Committee, led by vice president Khamlay Sipaseuth. Both sides agreed to enhance communication efforts to deepen the understanding of farmers in both countries about the strategic significance and importance of the longstanding friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between Laos and Vietnam.

They reaffirmed their commitment to preserving and nurturing the strong traditional relationship between the two nations, pledging to support each other in various activities of the farmers' union and the overall development of agriculture, farmers, and rural areas.

Concluding the talks, the two delegations signed a Memorandum of Understanding for bilateral cooperation spanning the period from 2025 to 2030, further solidifying their commitment to collaborative efforts and friendship.
