(KPL) A grant signing ceremony for the construction of Saysomsouk Secondary School in Sanamxay District, Attapeu Province, under Japan’s Grassroots Human Security Project (GGP), was held on 4 December 2025 at the Attapeu Provincial Administration Office. The project is valued at more than USD 97,000.

The agreement was signed by Mr Koizumi Tsutomu, Ambassador of Japan to Laos, and Mr Phavandy Sonthavy, Head of the Sanamxay District Education and Sports Office. Lieutenant General Vanthong Kongmany, Governor of Attapeu Province, together with delegations from both sides, witnessed the event.

Ambassador Koizumi stated that Japan’s assistance aims to support the construction of Saysomsouk Secondary School in response to the district’s lack of essential educational infrastructure. The project will provide improved teaching and learning facilities and help create a safer and more conducive environment for students.

Lieutenant General Vanthong expressed his gratitude to the Government of Japan, noting that Japan has long provided substantial development assistance to the Lao PDR—particularly through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Attapeu Province has benefited from numerous projects, especially in education and public health, which have significantly supported local infrastructure development.

He added that in 2025, recognising the importance of strengthening the education sector to meet human resource needs in Sanamxay District, the Japanese Government continued its support with funding for the Saysomsouk Secondary School building. Once completed, he said, the project will contribute to the province’s socio-economic development and stand as a meaningful symbol of the strong and enduring friendship between Laos and Japan.
