Addressing the opening ceremony, Gen. Thien laid stress on the goal of the course. He hoped that knowledge acquired during the course would be applied in real conditions of units under the Lao People’s Army in the future. These would help boost friendship, solidarity and traditional bond between the peoples, militaries of the two countries and the two military logistics and technical services and financial sectors.
