VIENTIANE,10 MAY (KPL) - Leading officials of Houaphanh province last week paid homage to 136 Vietnamese volunteers who had dedicated their lives to the revolutionary movement in Laos during the war time and sent their remains back to their homeland in Thanh Hoa province.

Taking park in the event were Mr Khamhoung Heuangvongsy, Houaphanh Governor, and high-ranking officials of this northeastern province.
In the same week, on 6 May, 186 remains of Vietnamese volunteers who died in Champassak province during the war have also been sent back home.
Exploration was made to find remains of Vietnamese volunteers between 1995 and 2009.
A hand-over ceremony was held at the club of Champassak’s Military Unit in witness of Major General Chansamone Chanyarath, Deputy Minister of National Defence, who is also head of an adhoc committee of the Lao Government, Mr Soukanh Maharath, Champassak Party Secretary, and Mrs Tran Thi Ngoc Anh, Deputy Chairman of Kom Tom Administration Province of Vietnam.

Both sides have highlighted a long-standing traditional cooperation, special solidarity and joint victories of the two countries, particularly between Houaphanh and Thanh Hoa, and Champassak and Kom Tom provinces that these provinces have so far stood shoulder to shoulder to fight against the same enemy for national liberation, territorial defence and saving people’s lives.
Presently, the peoples of the two nations are working to heal the wound of war, develop their living conditions and maintain mutual all-around assistance.
