Foreign sayings in President Xi's quotes (15)

Lao Proverb:

As a Lao saying goes, one piece of firewood does not make high flames, and a single wood stick does not make a fence. The Chinese believe that people, if united, are as strong as a fortress, and flame runs high if everyone adds wood to it. I am convinced that as long as our two countries trust each other and work together, we will create an even better future for our bilateral relations.

—— Chinese President Xi Jinping's signed article on Lao media the Pasaxon (the People), the Pathet Lao, and the Vientiane Times, November 13, 2017
