A search team from Nghe An has discovered the remains of nine Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts in the Lao provinces of Xiangkhouang and Xaysomboun over the past month, the Military Command of the Vietnamese central province said on November 12.

A ceremony was held recently in the northern Lao province of Xaysomboun to inaugurate and handover four new irrigation systems, which were funded by non-refundable aid from the Vietnamese Government.

The Ministry of National Defence’s COECCO Corporation on December 27 handed over an apartment building for officials and public servants of Xaysomboun – a newly-established and disadvantageous province of Laos.

Chairman of the People's Committee of the Vietnamese northern province of Bac Giang Le Anh Duong had a meeting with Khamlieng Outthakaison, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Governor of Xaysomboun province of Laos in Vientiane on August 9.
