On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, Sonma Bensheina, Vice President of the Lao National Assembly, wrote an exclusive article for the China Watch think-tank of the China Daily, saying that in the past decade, Laos and China have deepened cooperation, made outstanding achievements in promoting the building of a community of common destiny between Laos and China, and achieved mutual respect and trust in politics, mutual benefit in economy, mutual knowledge and affinity in people and people, and ecological co-existence and co governance, To play a demonstration role in building a community with a shared future for mankind. Author: Sommad Pholsena, Vice Chairman of the Lao National Assembly, has a history of nearly 2000 years in the relationship between Laos and China. During this process, the two peoples have engaged in beneficial interactions, enhanced mutual understanding, and blended cultures, traditions, and worldviews. From today's perspective, the history of Laos China relations has had a huge positive impact on the fate of the two peoples, providing a solid foundation for us to inherit and continue our unique experience, and to carry out cooperation and deepen ties under current conditions. Over the past decade, the two sides of Laos and China have continuously deepened cooperation and achieved tremendous achievements in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. They have made active efforts and demonstrations to build a community with a shared future for mankind. In my opinion, the connotation of a community with a shared future between Laos and China includes: mutual respect and trust in politics, mutual benefit in economy, mutual understanding and affinity in humanities, and symbiosis and co governance in ecology. Laos and China have achieved mutual respect and trust in politics. In April 2019, the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and the CPC signed the Action Plan on Building a Community with a Shared Future between Laos and China, which highlights the particularity of the community with a shared future between Laos and China, and also marks that the construction of the community with a shared future between Laos and China has entered a substantive stage. The Joint Declaration on Further Deepening the Construction of a Community with a Shared Future between Laos and China, signed by both sides in December 2022, points out the direction for promoting the construction of a community with a shared future between Laos and China to a new level. After the successful convening of the 11th National Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, leaders of both parties and countries promptly reported major events of their respective parties and countries to each other, demonstrating the level of political mutual trust between the two countries. At the same time, in the process of high-level interaction, both sides have understood and firmly supported each other's core interests and concerns, and highly affirmed each other's development vision, reflecting the political mutual respect between the two parties in Laos and China.

On the basis of promoting the docking between the "the Belt and Road" initiative and Laos' strategy of "transforming a land locked country into a land linked country", Laos and China have made remarkable achievements in economic cooperation and achieved win-win results. In terms of economic and trade exchanges, the trade volume between Laos and China continues to grow. In 2022, Laos China trade continued to grow by 31% despite the impact of the epidemic, with China's exports to Laos increasing by 40.9% and imports from Laos increasing by 24.9%. China has become Laos' second largest trading partner and largest export destination. In terms of major projects, the scheduled opening of the Laos China Railway in 2021 has significant milestone significance for the development of bilateral relations and has become an important support for regional connectivity
