“The Laos-China Peace Train has been organized annually since 2017. In 2020 and 2021, due to the spread of the covid-19, our joint exercise was suspended and we resume it this year 2022.
This year, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has brought 25 military medics, including those specialized in field hospital management, medical equipment and PCR Covid-19 testing,” said Head of the Military Medical Department, General Logistics Department of the Lao People’s Army Maj.
