The presentation ceremony recently took place in Da Nang as one of activities to mark the 55^th anniversary of Viet Nam-Laos diplomatic ties and the 40^th anniversary of the signing of the Viet Nam-Laos Friendship and Cooperation Treaty.

The Consul General of Laos in Da Nang, Mr Khamsena Phommaseng, said Vietnamese volunteer soldiers fought side by side with Lao armed forces during the past two resistance wars.

Da Nang sent hundreds of courageous volunteer soldiers to Laos, he noted.

In 2016, the State of Laos presented orders and medals to nearly 9,000 government officials, experts and soldiers of Viet Nam to acknowledge their great devotion and sacrifices to Laos’s revolutionary cause, he said.
