>>> Vietnam-Laos historical relic site inaugurated
Tay Tien (Marching West) Regiment 52, known as Tay Tien Regiment, was first assembled on February 27, 1947. The regiment was based in Son La province during the anti-French resistance war (1945-1954). They were dispatched to the battlefields in the northwest region, as well as Upper Lao, contributing to the glorious victory of the Vietnamese revolution and international missions in Laos.
Writing in the memorial book, NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan noted that the Tay Tien historic relic site plays a significant role in educating the younger generations of Vietnamese about patriotism.
Furthermore, Lao NA Chairwoman Pany Yothotou underlined the importance of the relic site as a symbol of the combat alliance between the people’s armies of Vietnam and Laos and expressed her wish that Vietnam and Laos will further their special traditional solidarity for the benefit of the two peoples.
