All of them underwent screening tests for the coronavirus.
On this occasion, the delegation of the Vietnam People’s Army also presented gifts to 20 families of social policies, and medical supplies and drugs to authorities and people in Seponh.
The programme is expected to consolidate and enhance the special solidarity and close ties between Vietnamese and Lao States, people, armies and military medical sectors.
It was held ahead of the first-ever Vietnam-Laos Border Defence Friendship Exchange and related activities, salted for this month./.
