The Lao State has presented medals and orders to 33 officials, experts, and volunteer soldiers in Vietnam’s central Da Nang city in recognition of their contributions to Laos’s revolution.
Khamsena Phommaseng, Consul General of Laos in Da Nang, said Vietnamese volunteer soldiers fought side by side with Lao armed forces during the two resistance wars.
Da Nang sent hundreds of courageous volunteer soldiers to Laos, he noted.
In 2016, the State of Laos presented orders and medals to nearly 9,000 officials, experts and soldiers of Vietnam to acknowledge their exploits and sacrifices to Laos’s revolutionary cause, he said.
