The history of Vietnam-Laos special relations and combatant alliance is a major project of great international significance. It aims to record glorious historical pages of the traditional special relations between the two Parties, States, fatherlands fronts, armies and people of Vietnam and Laos in their joint struggle against foreign invaders and in national construction.
The compilation will cover documents, memoirs and chronicles of events on Vietnam-Laos special relations as well as a set of photo books and documentaries about the two countries.
