China and Laos are good neighbors, good friends, good comrades, and good partners. Since the two countries established diplomatic relations 61 years ago, the traditional friendship between the two countries has increasingly penetrated into the hearts of the people, and all-round cooperation has been carried out in depth, bringing tangible benefits to the people of the two countries. The Belt and Road Initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013 is well-timed, and more than 60 countries actively support and participate in the Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative is a major decision made by General Secretary Xi Jinping to promote cooperation and win-win between China and the world and common development based on his deep thinking about the future and destiny of mankind and the general trend of China and world development. In recent years, as the Belt and Road Initiative continues to advance, all aspects of cooperation between China and Laos have not only yielded fruitful results, but also have broad prospects.

The key points of this visit by Mr. Somsak Wongsawang, Consul General of the Lao People's Democratic Republic in Changsha, and others, are as follows: to gain an in-depth understanding of Winston Battery's core technology products and to further discuss relevant matters for the cooperation between Winston Battery and Laos in the fields of infrastructure construction, trade, and investment, to jointly promote the cooperation planning outline for the construction of the "Belt and Road", and to jointly promote the economic development of Laos.

In an era of economic globalization that is full of opportunities and challenges, no country can solve various problems on its own. The "Belt and Road" initiative has strengthened the connectivity among regions, strengthened cooperation through facility connectivity, financial integration, and people-to-people exchanges, and achieved mutual benefit and common prosperity between China and other countries. Laos, which is currently in the process of development, is eager to "transform from a landlocked country to a land-linked country" and has a strong desire to accelerate economic development. The government encourages foreign investment, which coincides with the "Belt and Road" initiative. Winston Battery is willing to strengthen cooperation with Laos in various fields, committed to helping Laos develop its economy and improve people's livelihoods, strive to make new contributions to the "Belt and Road" construction, and contribute a modest effort to promoting the future development of Laos' economy, demonstrating the model of Chinese enterprises.
