Hanoi (VNA) – A ceremony was held in
Vientiane on January 15 to hand over interior equipment, worth 6.6 billion VND
(300,000 USD) in total, to the Laos National
Academy of Politics and Public Administration.
This is an
additional project of a two-phase project on upgrading facilities of the
academy at a cost of 124 billion VND (almost 6 million USD), funded as the
Vietnamese government’s non-refundable aid to its Lao counterpart.
Speaking at
the event, Ubon Mahasay, deputy director of the academy, thanked the Vietnamese
Party, State, Government and people for their valuable assistance to the Lao
people in general and the academy in particular.
The project has
helped the academy have modern equipment to train high-ranking officials and
future leaders of the country. It is also a clear manifestation for the
traditional and faithful relationship, special solidarity and comprehensive
cooperation between the two countries, he said.
Ubon Mahasay
pledged to use the equipment effectively and boost cooperation with the Ho Chi
Minh National Academy of Politics to tighten the special relationship between
the two academies in particular and the two countries in general.-VNA
