A religious ceremony for restoring the remains of the Maj. Gen was held in Vientiane last Saturday with his remains being removed from Thepnimith Temple (Vat That Foun) and placed at the National Cemetery.
Taking part in the ceremony were President of the National Defence and Security Committee, Brig. Gen. Vilay Douangmany, high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Public Security, police officers, relevant officials, and the Kounlavong family and relatives.
