President Phankham Viphavanh, who is also a Politburo member and standing
member of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party Central Committee’s Secretariat,
visits the historical site where the preparatory meeting for the second
Congress of the Lao People’s Party (now the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party)

Tien (Marching West) Regiment departed from Hoa Binh to support Laos. During
the anti-American resistance war, Hoa Binh was chosen to host the preparatory
meeting for the second Congress of the Lao People’s Party (now the Lao People’s
Revolutionary Party) in December 1971. The Pathet Lao Radio was located in Lac
Thuy district.
Hoa Binh has also developed cooperation with the
Lao provinces of Huaphan and Luang Phrapang.
Bui Van Tinh congratulated the Lao people on the
significant achievements they have gained under the sound leadership of the Lao
People’s Revolutionary Party.
To make the year 2017 be an impression of the Vietnam-Laos special ties on the
two countries’ peoples, he said the two sides need to focus on disseminating the traditional relationship among all walks of
life, especially the youths, while promoting friendly exchanges and cooperation
between ministries, sectors, organisations, and localities, particularly Hoa
Binh and the two Lao provinces of Huaphan and Luang Phrapang. Hoa Binh is
studying to build a school for Huaphan province.

development Hoa Binh has achieved over the past years, saying that these are the
valuable lessons for Lao poor provinces to learn during their
development.
He acknowledged Hoa Binh’s efforts in preserving
and upgrading the relic site where the preparatory meeting for the second
Congress of the Lao People’s Party took place and in training its young
generation.
The Party, State and people of Laos will
cooperate closely with the province in collecting, supplying information, photos
and objects to contribute to the site, he said.
