Your Excellency,
I wish to take this opportunity to extend my warmest congratulations to you and to the Government and people of the Lao People's Democratic Republic on your National Day.
As we mark the 25th year of the establishment of our diplomatic ties, I am pleased with the warm friendship and good progress made in our bilateral relations. I look forward to welcoming Your Excellency to Brunei Darussalam next year and to the opportunity of strengthening our ties as close bilateral and regional partners.
With my kindest regards and very best wishes to you for a happy celebration.
