Vietnam- Laos agrees to upgrade solidarity monuments
Vietnam and Laos have agreed to upgrade monuments to their solidarity in the provinces of Oudomxay, Xieng Khouang, Attapeu and Champasak in Laos.
The agreement was reached at a meeting between a delegation of the Vietnamese Government Special Task Committee and those from Laos in Vientiane on March 6.
Accordingly, the Vietnamese side will provide Laos with VND15 billion (about US$700,000) to implement the project.
The two sides discussed issues related to the search and repatriation of the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and specialists who laid down their lives in Laos.
They also planned to hold the 19th meeting in Vietnam as soon as possible.
