Expressing profound gratitude for the noble sacrifices of Vietnamese martyrs for the independence of Laos, Comrade Ven Phet Lat Da Vong affirmed that coordinating the search for and collection of the remains of martyrs is a sacred responsibility of the Party Committee, government, and people of Salavan province.

During the talks, the two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation for the 2026-2027 dry season; they also agreed on the principle of building a memorial house to preserve the remains of fallen soldiers and to welcome their relatives in Salavan province.
