Nevertheless, I would like to call on an entire Party, entire government, entire armed forces and an entire Lao people to protect and strengthen the sound traditions of our nation, enhance solidarity, dedicate physical and mental efforts to the cause of national protection and development, push forward in a more concrete manner the implementation of the two national agendas to ensure our self strengthening, and make significant and profound change in all areas throughout the coming Year of the Rabbit,” said the President.
