Laos–Vietnam relations

Laos–Vietnam relations (Vietnamese: Quan hệ Lào – Việt Nam) (Laotian: ການພົວພັນ ລາວ-ຫວຽດນາມ) are the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation from history to the present between the Lao People's Democratic Republic and Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The relationship is considered by the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Lao People's Revolutionary Party as well as the State of the two countries as a special relationship with the role of strategic allies but without any alliance commitments.
