A project to help central agencies of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) in applying information technology has been successfully completed and handed over to Laos as a gift from the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).

The CPV Central Committee Office handed over the project to the LPRP Central Committee Office during a ceremony in Vientiane on May 28, which was attended by Vietnamese Minister-Counsellor to Laos Luong Quoc Huy and Politburo member and Secretary of the LPRP Central Committee, Bounpon Buttanavong.

Launched in January 2012, the project was implemented by the Viettel group at a cost of 3.5 million USD.

The project helped build a sufficient IT infrastructure system linking the LPRP central agencies with localities across Laos .

Addressing the ceremony, a representative from the LPRP Central Committee Office thanked the CPV for the meaningful present, saying that the project is strategically valuable in improving the agencies’ working efficiency, bettering the policy-making process and serving the country’s development.-VNA
