Laos is the fourth leg of Ms Yingluck's Southeast Asian tour to introduce herself as Thailand's new Prime Minister to Asean nations.
The two nations share similarities in language and culture.
The people of Laos and Thailand increasingly visit each other's country and have gained deeper mutual understanding in recent years.
Laos and Thailand have built bridges across the Mekong River to facilitate tourism, trade and investment between the two countries. Two friendship bridges currently link the two nations across the Mekong, and two more are under construction.
During bilateral talks at the Government Office in Vientiane, the two sides discussed issues that aimed to consolidate cooperative relations between Laos and Thailand.
The Lao Prime Minister invited the Thai Prime Minister to attend the 9th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) and 5th Ayeyawady, Chao Praya, Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) meeting to be hosted by Laos next year, and Ms Yingluck agreed to attend.
Thailand is among the major foreign investors in Laos. Over the past decade, Thailand has invested in 276 projects worth US$2.68 billion.
According to statistics from the official website of the Thai Commerce Ministry, bilateral trade between the two countries reached US$2.1 billion and increased to US$2.8 billion in 2010.

Thailand needs Ms. Yingluck more than ever to promote the country business and also to create a long lasting peaceful with neighboring countries in the SEA. Ms. Yingluck does not have any politically relationship with her brother . She is a beautiful strong lady and can walk on her own path in the political field .

For all due respect to the Queen Elizabeth 2 of England , she was inhereted the throne from her father . The Queen actually does Not have any power at all in England , she is just a figure Head ceremony for the country. Ms. Yingluck is a real powerful lady P.M. and doing the governing on daily basis. That is Why Ms. Yingluck is Voted the most powerful Lady in the world now. The most powerful man on earth today is Mr. President Obama
