(KPL) The Japanese government has supported the construction of a classroom building for Nasu Primary School in Kasi District, Vientiane Province, through a financial grant exceeding USD 57,000.

The funding agreement was signed on January 13 at the provincial administration office between the Director of the Kasi District Education and Sports Office, Layu Senchayvouth, and Japanese Ambassador to Laos Koizumi Tsutomu.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by Vientiane Province Governor Khamphanh Sitthidampha and representatives of relevant authorities.

On this occasion, Mr. Khamphanh Sitthidampha, who also serves as the Party Secretary of the northern province, expressed gratitude to the Japanese government for its generous support.

He also provided a brief report on the province's socio-economic development in recent years, highlighting the continuous support and cooperation from the Japanese government. This assistance has significantly contributed to strengthening the longstanding friendship and strategic partnership between Laos and Japan.

Since 1995, Vientiane Province has benefited from 37 development projects funded by the Japanese government, focusing on human resource development and infrastructure, with a total grant amounting to USD 2.93 million.

Notably, at the end of 2024, Vientiane Province and Kochi Prefecture in Japan celebrated 30 years (1994–2024) of bilateral cooperation.

The celebrations included various activities such as educational exchanges, cultural interactions between children and youth from both provinces, and visits to Kochi Prefecture for cultural and commemorative events.
