Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Douangchay Phichith received in Vientiane on August 21 a delegation of Vietnamese voluntary soldiers and experts, who fought and worked in Laos.

The Lao Deputy PM said that the Lao army and people continue to honour the great contributions of the Vietnamese volunteers in the struggle for national liberation in the past and national construction and defence at present.

He stressed that statues built all across Laos to memorialise the Vietnam-Laos special fighting alliance will remind future generations of both countries of their special traditional ties.

He stated that annual visits by Vietnamese voluntary soldiers and experts to Laos will help them be mindful of the achievements of devoted and outstanding people from the two nations, which have contributed so much to prosperity at present and in future.

He also related joint efforts underway to complete a compilation of the history of the Vietnam-Laos fighting alliance, describing this as an important event for educating current and future generations in both countries.

Nguyen Quoc Uy, standing member of the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Association’s Central Committee, and head of the Vietnamese delegation, expressed the warm sentiments of Vietnamese who served and lived in Laos. He expressed his hope that the special traditional ties between Vietnam and Laos would be constantly developed.
