Khammuan provincial authorities held last week an inauguration ceremony for the Ho Chi Minh Memorial renovation project in Xieng Wang, Nongbok district, Khammuan Province.
The renovation project is funded with a financial grant of VND13 billion (over US$ 569,000) from the Vietnamese government.
The renovation will be carried out by the Vietnam Company of Economic Cooperation (COECCO) and the Vietnam Urban Architecture Joint Stock Company.
“It’s my pleasure to represent the Ho Chi Minh Museum, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to organize an opening ceremony for the renovation and upgrading of President Ho Chi Minh Memorial in Khammuan Province, the Lao PDR,” said Director of the Ho Chi Minh Museum Wu Ming.
He expressed thanks to the Party, government and local authorities of the Lao PDR for supporting and creating favourable conditions for the renovation project.
‘I believe that this project, funded by the Vietnamese government, will contribute to enhancing the friendly relations and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties, governments and peoples of Laos and Vietnam,” said Wu Ming.
