Work begins on Laos-Vietnam bilanguage school

Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Ba Hung highlighted the significance of the work in promoting the Vietnamese culture in Laos while contributing to the teaching of the Vietnamese language among the Vietnamese community, especially young generations in the locality as well as Lao people who want to study the language.

For his part, Oudomxay governor Bounkhong Lachiemphon said the school is a symbol of cooperation between the province and Vietnam in general and with the Vietnamese community in Laos in particular.

With an investment of  LAK6.7 billion (US$308,000), once operational, the school will provide Vietnamese language classes for overseas Vietnamese and Laos in the province and northern area, helping them pursuit their higher education in Vietnam or for other purposes.
