Speaking at the event, chief representative of the Vietnam Rubber Corporation in Laos and a former student of the 1986-1989 course Duong Dinh Bang said over the past decades, generations of Vietnamese students have studied at the NUL and many other universities in Laos. Many graduates are holding important positions in Vietnamese ministries and agencies, or at representative offices of Vietnamese agencies and Vietnam-Laos joint-ventures in Laos.

On behalf of the former students, Bang pledged to do his best to foster traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.

Dean of the NUL’s Faculty of Letters Aloun Silattanakoun expressed his wish that the alumni would exert their most efforts to further tighten the everlasting Laos - Vietnam ties.
