According to Mr. Chansilone Sisomboun, 2026 is a pivotal year for implementing the resolutions adopted at Party congresses at all levels in Salavan Province. As Laos is also accelerating efforts to streamline its organizational apparatus from the central to the grassroots level, the delegation’s visit and working session in Hue City provide an opportunity to exchange experience in Party building and personnel organization, particularly to learn about the new commune-level governance model.
