Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month
After a period of more than 20 years since the liberation of Laos in 1975, the sixth Party Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party took place in Vientiane from March 18-20, 1996, amidst a rapidly changing global situation.
The congress was attended by 381 Party members represented the 78,000 members nationwide. Representatives from brotherly countries were also invited to attend.
The congress elected 49 Party members to form the Party Central Committee which convened its first meeting to elect nine Politburo members.
Mr Khamtay Siphandone was elected Head of the Party Central Committee while former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh was appointed as advisor to the Party Central Committee.
Congress participants heard a political report on the work of the previous Party Central Committee, which was delivered by Mr Khamtay Siphandone. The report highlighted the achievements and challenges of the past 10 years in implementing the renovation policy.
The congress also assessed both the international and domestic situations and concluded there was sufficient potential to ensure that Laos would develop step by step.
On that basis, the congress identified the goals to be reached by 2020 so that Laos would be able to graduate from the United Nations' list of Least Developed Countries by that date.
This was to be achieved through the expansion and modernisation of the agro-industrial sector; material and cultural life would be improved with adequate access to education and health services; basic social welfare would be secured; human resources would be applied to development activities, and Laos would enjoy growing international cooperation and integration.
The congress also adopted targets to aim for in the next five years (1996-2000).
These included: annual economic growth of 8-8.5 percent, with an average annual income per head in 2000 of US$500; initiating activities that would serve as agents for transforming Laos into a modern nation; and addressing poverty problems in focal development areas by introducing integrated rural development.
To reach these targets, the congress formulated an overall direction and duties. These included boosting internal unity among Party members and society in general. The overall goal was to guarantee peace and stability, creating favourable conditions for people to improve their lives and build up the nation. The congress also aimed to defend the nation's independence and sovereignty, mobilising all economic sectors and the public to participate in nation-building.

Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month.
Sixteen years after Laos was liberated with the proclamation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic on December 2, 1975, the Party leadership recognised the need to improve the political system and enhance the Party's leadership role to accelerate development nationwide.
Against this backdrop, the Party convened its fifth congress in Vientiane on March 27-29, 1991, to review the Party's leadership performance over the past five years, set out the next five-year roadmap and elect new Party leaders.
The fifth congress was attended by 367 delegates who represented the Party's 60,000 members across the country and elected 59 members of the Party Central Committee.
In its first plenum, the fifth Party Central Committee re-elected Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as President of the Party Central Committee. Eleven members were elected as members of the Politburo.
Top of the agenda at the congress was the improvement of the organisational structure of the people's democratic political system and its working methods. In this regard, the direction for the improvement of the political system was more clearly defined.
The congress approved the Party's amended statute, aiming to build the Party appropriately in the new era. The Lao People's Revolutionary Party upheld the general essence of Marxism and Leninism as its basic theoretical concept along with acknowledging the world's top intellectuals and making use of scientific theories and valuable lessons learnt from foreign countries that matched the situation in Laos. The Party attached great importance to enhancing the national patriotic tradition and building solidarity among the multi-ethnic people. The Party resolved to follow centralised and democracy-based principles and impose strict discipline.
The congress defined the stages and characteristics of the Lao revolution in the new period. It was agreed that Laos would continue to build and expand the peo ple's democratic regime, creating the necessary factors to achieve socialism. In this regard, the congress laid out the directions and duties that the entire Party and people should follow: continue to carry out the renovation task comprehensively while enhancing solidarity among the multi-ethnic people.
To realise the resolutions of the congress, the Party Central Committee held a number of plenums to translate the resolutions into a detailed work plan. Under the leadership of the fifth Party Central Committee, Laos had established a solid foundation towards creating a state governed by the rule of law.
In its second plenum that took place in May 1991, the Party Central Committee considered a draft of the first constitution of the Lao People's Democratic Republic which was subsequently adopted by the National Assembly in August of the same year.
This sixth ordinary session of the National Assembly's Second Legislature also unanimously elected Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as the country's presid ent and Mr Khamtay Siphandone as prime minister.
However, the country suffered a great loss when the people's beloved President Kaysone Phomvihane passed away on November 21, 1992. The late president was remembered as a staunch patriot, a genuine revolutionary, a capable leader, an intellectual and a wise practitioner.
After the passing of the Party and state leader, the Party Central Committee held an extraordinary session on November 24, 1992, and unanimously elected Mr Khamtay Siphandone as President of the Party Central Committee.
On November 25, 1992, the National Assembly's Second Legislature held an extraordinary session and elected Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh as President of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
In February 1993, the Party Central Committee held its Sixth Plenum and assessed the initial succes s in implementing the renovation policy. It observed that in 1992, gross domestic product (GDP) had risen by 6 percent compared to 1990.
In addition, economic infrastructure expanded after more than 40 percent of the state's annual budget was invested in this sector each year. Relations and cooperation with foreign countries continued to grow. In 1992, some 22 foreign countries invested in 104 projects in Laos, spending about US$176 million.
Nevertheless, the plenum observed that economic growth was not steady enough and as yet there was no firm foundation to guarantee sustained growth.
In order to accelerate and sustain socio-economic development and address its shortcomings, the sixth plenum defined a socio-economic development roadmap for the period 1993-2000 and its ambitious goals.

VO August 13 is commemorated annually by the Lao people to pay tribute to the Lao Front for National Construction
INTRO: August 13 is commemorated annually by the Lao people to pay tribute to the Lao Front for National Construction the According to President of the Lao Front for National Construction, Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa, Lao Front: a symbol of solidarity, unity. We proudly present our special story marking the 65th anniversary of the Lao Front for National Construction (August 13, 1950)
STORY: Why did the Indochinese Party (comprising Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) see it as necessary to establish the Freedom Front to fight against foreign aggressors on the road to national liberation? For Laos, the reason was to create unity and solidarity among people of all ethnicities in their fight against a common enemy.
For many years Laos had been invaded and governed by foreign aggressors. But the Lao people were determined not to be enslaved and various heroes emerged to lead ethnic people in the fight against these foreign aggressors. These included Ongkeo, Ongkommadam, Phorkaduad and Chaofapatchay, who led the Lao people and their own relatives in the struggle.
Speaking at a meeting of the Lao Front in Vientiane this week, President of the Lao Front for National Construction, Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa, recalled how the Lao Issara government, the Lao Pen Lao Committee and some stalwart patriots also fled to Thailand. Many took refuge in rural and mountainous areas around Phouluang Mountain near Vietnam with the intention of taking on the enemy once more.
The first meeting of the Freedom Lao Front ( Neo Lao Issara ) took place from August 13-15, 1950, attended by representatives of all Lao ethnicities, social strata and religions. All of them had in common a burning desire for independence and to repel the foreign aggressors and achieve national liberation.
The meeting of Neo Lao Issara announced 12 political goals which are still followed today. The meeting also appointed the committee of the central Lao Freedom Front with Prince Souphanouvong as its president.
In addition, the Lao resistance government committee was appointed. Its five members were Prince Souphanouvong as Prime Minister; Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as the minister responsible for national defence; Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh as the minister responsible for economics; Mr Phoummy Vongvichit as minister of the interior; and Mr Souk Vongsak as the minister responsible for education.

Vientiane Times
In a stirring act of patriotism, the remains of the country's first generation of revolutionary leaders were taken from their various resting places and placed at the Kaysone Phomvihane Museum in Vientiane on Friday, accompanied by a traditional Buddhist ceremony.
Thousands of people including high-ranking Party and government officials gathered at the museum for the merit-making ceremony following the arrival of the leaders' remains.
Party Secretary General and President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone and other Politburo members were among those present.
The remains included those of the late President Kaysone Phomvihane, former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh, President Souphanouvong, Mr Phoumy Vongvichit, Mr Phoun Sipaseuth and Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay.
The remains of a later generation of leaders included Mr Saly Vongkhamxao, Mr Maychantan Sengmany, Mr Oudom Khattiya, Mr Somlath Chanthamath, Mr Osakan Thammatheva, Mr Khambou Sounixay, Mr Sompheth Thipmala, and Mr Vaenthong Luangvilay.
The ceremony, which was led by 120 monks, gave devotees the opportunity to make merit and show their respect for these leaders, whose great contributions and sacrifices ultimately led to national liberation in 1975.
Among those attending the ceremony was Mr Khammeung Boulaphone of Luang Namtha province. He said he was proud of the contributions and efforts of these leaders, who inspired solidarity among all Lao people in joining the fight against powerful colonialists.
"Despite difficulties, our leaders were determined not to surrender to the colonialists. If they hadn't been there for us then, we may not have what we do today," he said.
Monk Sithon Xayavongsone of the Buddhist Organisation for Development said "There are three things in particular that make me proud of our revolutionary leaders. These include their sacrifice and devotion, their honesty, and their strength of heart . Today's young people should learn from them, so they can accelerate the nation's development efforts."
Today, an almsgiving ceremony will take place at the museum in the morning, with 120 monks again in attendance. This will be followed by the removal of the leaders' remains to the National Cemetery in the afternoon.
At the cemetery, there will be a mass mourning of the leaders, whose remains will be placed in stupas.
The reinterment is part of activities to mark the 57th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
The relocation assembles the remains of the revolutionary leaders in one place to make it easier for the younger generations to pay tribute and recall their good deeds.
The placement of their remains in the National Cemetery serves to express gratitude to those leaders who devoted their lives to the fight for liberation, as well as encouraging a spirit of patriotism and solidarity among young people.
Since the Party Central Committee issued a notice concerning the reinterment last week, various government bodies in Vientiane and the provinces have delivered lectures on the virtuous deeds of the leaders.
The lectures ensured that officials fully understood the good deeds of the leaders and their sacrifices in fighting powerful colonialists, in their bid to bring independence, freedom and prosperity to all Lao people.
By being fully informed about the good deeds and shining example set by the revolutionary leaders, government officials can absorb these and apply them to their work and personal life.

Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month.
The Eighth Party Congress took place in Vientiane from March 18-21, 2006, and saw Mr Choummaly Sayasone elected as Secretary General of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, replacing Party President Khamtay Siphandone.
The congress accepted the retirement of President Khamtay along with that of Advisor to the Party Central Committee Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh, and elected Mr Choummaly to the renamed top leadership position of Secretary General.
In addition, the congress elected two new Politburo members - Mr Somsavat Lengsavad and Ms Pany Yathotu. This was the first time that a woman was elected to this position. In all, 11 people were elected Politburo members.
The 498 delegates that represented the 148,590 Party members nationwide attended the congress and assessed the leadership of the Party in its implementation of the renovation policy over the past 20 years.
A national development directive for 2006-10 was set, aiming to work towards the eradication of poverty and create conditions that would lift Laos out of Least Developed Country status by the year 2020.
The congress also elected the Eighth Central Committee which comprised 55 members, two more than elected by the previous congress. Four of the members were women, and the average age of all committee members was 57. According to Politburo member Mr Thongsing Thammavong, the new Central Party Committee members, the oldest of whom was 79, were all tried and tested revolutionaries.
They had been active and enthusiastic in the renovation movement and were good role models for all Party members and the Lao people.
“The congress was unanimous in adopting the amended Party Statute and electing the new Executive Committee of the Central Party Committee, combining different ages, genders and ethnic groups in order to ensure the successful implementation of the targets set by the Eighth Congress. This committee is the core of the solidarity and unity of our Party and people,” said newly elected Secretary General Mr Choummaly.
Mr Choummaly expressed his appreciation for the ceaseless work done by Mr Khamtay and Mr Nouhak in leading the nation to liberation and development for almost half a century.
Mr Choummaly was born into a farming family in Vatneua village, Saysettha district, Attapeu province. His passion for leadership was forged in the flames of the national struggle for liberation, when he engaged in numerous decisive battles. Among the first of these was the battle for the protection of the two provinces recognised as the stronghold of the revolutionary forces in 1955-56. He then assumed command of the Xieng Khuang armed forces to liberate Salaphoukhoun, Kasy, Vangvieng, Phonhong and Vientiane in 1975.
Victory in these battles paved the way for the Pathet Lao to seize power nationwide and establish the Lao People's Democratic Republic in 1975.
Mr Choummaly held many important posts. At the Third Congress he was elected to the Central Committee, at the fourth he became an alternate Politburo member, and became a full Politburo member at the Fifth Congress. The inauguration session of the Party Central Committee elected seven members to form the Party Secretariat.

The Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC)'s role as the fundamental unifying political body in the fight for national liberation, protection and development was highlighted in Vientiane yesterday to mark the revolutionary movement's 65th anniversary.
The LFNC was established on August 13, 1950, when it was known as Neo Lao Issara (Free Lao Front) with Prince Souphanouvong as its president.
Following the Front, the Lao resistance government was also established with Prince Souphanouvong as prime minister, Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as minister in charge of the military, Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh became minister of economics, Mr Phoumy Vongvichit was minister in charge of the interior, and Prince Souk Vongsak was in charge of education.
Speaking at the meeting in Vientiane yesterday, LFNC President Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa said the Front was a fundamental political organisation that openly dealt with internal and foreign affairs following the cancellation of the Communist Party of Indochina one year later.
The Front contributed greatly to mobilising people in building the revolutionary stronghold and expanding the revolutionary movement in both the political arena and the armed forces.
The Front contributed to the fighting that accompanied the victorious liberation battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam in 1954, which led to the Geneva Agreement 1954 on Indochina.
The Front also contributed significantly to the establishment of the Lao People's Party (today the Lao People's Revolutionary Party) on March 22, 1955.
Prof. Dr Phanduangchit reminded the audience of the most critical period from 1957 to 1960 when the second battalion of the Lao Patriotic Front (today's LFNC) was blockaded by the enemy at the Plain of Jars, and the Front's leaders were arrested. However, the battalion and leaders succeeded in escaping from the blockade and prison.
After the country achieved liberation, Lao Patriotic Front was the flag bearer for unifying the people for national defence and development, he said.
In his address at the meeting Vice President Bounnhang Vorachit saluted the outstanding courage and great sense of duty exhibited by the Front, saying the national mission and victory would not have succeeded without the united Front's contributions.
Meanwhile, he called on the Front to exert more effort to overcome the challenges of the new era which came together with opportunities.
He detailed the tasks to be implemented with the Party to guide the Front and mass organisations at all levels to match their political duty in the new era. A joint effort was needed for the success of the Party mission and prosperity of the people, to strengthen the nation, while building a society of conciliation and democracy, justice and civilisation.
Vice President Bounnhang also called for improvements to the Front and mass organisations to meet the challenges of developing a socialist style market economy where democracy was ruled by law amid regional and international integration.

Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month
After a period of more than 20 years since the liberation of Laos in 1975, the sixth Party Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party took place in Vientiane from March 18-20, 1996, amidst a rapidly changing global situation.
The congress was attended by 381 Party members represented the 78,000 members nationwide. Representatives from brotherly countries were also invited to attend.
The congress elected 49 Party members to form the Party Central Committee which convened its first meeting to elect nine Politburo members.
Mr Khamtay Siphandone was elected Head of the Party Central Committee while former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh was appointed as advisor to the Party Central Committee.
Congress participants heard a political report on the work of the previous Party Central Committee, which was delivered by Mr Khamtay Siphandone. The report highlighted the achievements and challenges of the past 10 years in implementing the renovation policy.
The congress also assessed both the international and domestic situations and concluded there was sufficient potential to ensure that Laos would develop step by step.
On that basis, the congress identified the goals to be reached by 2020 so that Laos would be able to graduate from the United Nations' list of Least Developed Countries by that date.
This was to be achieved through the expansion and modernisation of the agro-industrial sector; material and cultural life would be improved with adequate access to education and health services; basic social welfare would be secured; human resources would be applied to development activities, and Laos would enjoy growing international cooperation and integration.
The congress also adopted targets to aim for in the next five years (1996-2000).
These included: annual economic growth of 8-8.5 percent, with an average annual income per head in 2000 of US$500; initiating activities that would serve as agents for transforming Laos into a modern nation; and addressing poverty problems in focal development areas by introducing integrated rural development.
To reach these targets, the congress formulated an overall direction and duties. These included boosting internal unity among Party members and society in general. The overall goal was to guarantee peace and stability, creating favourable conditions for people to improve their lives and build up the nation. The congress also aimed to defend the nation's independence and sovereignty, mobilising all economic sectors and the public to participate in nation-building.

Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month.
Sixteen years after Laos was liberated with the proclamation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic on December 2, 1975, the Party leadership recognised the need to improve the political system and enhance the Party's leadership role to accelerate development nationwide.
Against this backdrop, the Party convened its fifth congress in Vientiane on March 27-29, 1991, to review the Party's leadership performance over the past five years, set out the next five-year roadmap and elect new Party leaders.
The fifth congress was attended by 367 delegates who represented the Party's 60,000 members across the country and elected 59 members of the Party Central Committee.
In its first plenum, the fifth Party Central Committee re-elected Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as President of the Party Central Committee. Eleven members were elected as members of the Politburo.
Top of the agenda at the congress was the improvement of the organisational structure of the people's democratic political system and its working methods. In this regard, the direction for the improvement of the political system was more clearly defined.
The congress approved the Party's amended statute, aiming to build the Party appropriately in the new era. The Lao People's Revolutionary Party upheld the general essence of Marxism and Leninism as its basic theoretical concept along with acknowledging the world's top intellectuals and making use of scientific theories and valuable lessons learnt from foreign countries that matched the situation in Laos. The Party attached great importance to enhancing the national patriotic tradition and building solidarity among the multi-ethnic people. The Party resolved to follow centralised and democracy-based principles and impose strict discipline.
The congress defined the stages and characteristics of the Lao revolution in the new period. It was agreed that Laos would continue to build and expand the peo ple's democratic regime, creating the necessary factors to achieve socialism. In this regard, the congress laid out the directions and duties that the entire Party and people should follow: continue to carry out the renovation task comprehensively while enhancing solidarity among the multi-ethnic people.
To realise the resolutions of the congress, the Party Central Committee held a number of plenums to translate the resolutions into a detailed work plan. Under the leadership of the fifth Party Central Committee, Laos had established a solid foundation towards creating a state governed by the rule of law.
In its second plenum that took place in May 1991, the Party Central Committee considered a draft of the first constitution of the Lao People's Democratic Republic which was subsequently adopted by the National Assembly in August of the same year.
This sixth ordinary session of the National Assembly's Second Legislature also unanimously elected Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as the country's presid ent and Mr Khamtay Siphandone as prime minister.
However, the country suffered a great loss when the people's beloved President Kaysone Phomvihane passed away on November 21, 1992. The late president was remembered as a staunch patriot, a genuine revolutionary, a capable leader, an intellectual and a wise practitioner.
After the passing of the Party and state leader, the Party Central Committee held an extraordinary session on November 24, 1992, and unanimously elected Mr Khamtay Siphandone as President of the Party Central Committee.
On November 25, 1992, the National Assembly's Second Legislature held an extraordinary session and elected Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh as President of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
In February 1993, the Party Central Committee held its Sixth Plenum and assessed the initial succes s in implementing the renovation policy. It observed that in 1992, gross domestic product (GDP) had risen by 6 percent compared to 1990.
In addition, economic infrastructure expanded after more than 40 percent of the state's annual budget was invested in this sector each year. Relations and cooperation with foreign countries continued to grow. In 1992, some 22 foreign countries invested in 104 projects in Laos, spending about US$176 million.
Nevertheless, the plenum observed that economic growth was not steady enough and as yet there was no firm foundation to guarantee sustained growth.
In order to accelerate and sustain socio-economic development and address its shortcomings, the sixth plenum defined a socio-economic development roadmap for the period 1993-2000 and its ambitious goals.

VO August 13 is commemorated annually by the Lao people to pay tribute to the Lao Front for National Construction
INTRO: August 13 is commemorated annually by the Lao people to pay tribute to the Lao Front for National Construction the According to President of the Lao Front for National Construction, Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa, Lao Front: a symbol of solidarity, unity. We proudly present our special story marking the 65th anniversary of the Lao Front for National Construction (August 13, 1950)
STORY: Why did the Indochinese Party (comprising Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) see it as necessary to establish the Freedom Front to fight against foreign aggressors on the road to national liberation? For Laos, the reason was to create unity and solidarity among people of all ethnicities in their fight against a common enemy.
For many years Laos had been invaded and governed by foreign aggressors. But the Lao people were determined not to be enslaved and various heroes emerged to lead ethnic people in the fight against these foreign aggressors. These included Ongkeo, Ongkommadam, Phorkaduad and Chaofapatchay, who led the Lao people and their own relatives in the struggle.
Speaking at a meeting of the Lao Front in Vientiane this week, President of the Lao Front for National Construction, Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa, recalled how the Lao Issara government, the Lao Pen Lao Committee and some stalwart patriots also fled to Thailand. Many took refuge in rural and mountainous areas around Phouluang Mountain near Vietnam with the intention of taking on the enemy once more.
The first meeting of the Freedom Lao Front ( Neo Lao Issara ) took place from August 13-15, 1950, attended by representatives of all Lao ethnicities, social strata and religions. All of them had in common a burning desire for independence and to repel the foreign aggressors and achieve national liberation.
The meeting of Neo Lao Issara announced 12 political goals which are still followed today. The meeting also appointed the committee of the central Lao Freedom Front with Prince Souphanouvong as its president.
In addition, the Lao resistance government committee was appointed. Its five members were Prince Souphanouvong as Prime Minister; Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as the minister responsible for national defence; Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh as the minister responsible for economics; Mr Phoummy Vongvichit as minister of the interior; and Mr Souk Vongsak as the minister responsible for education.

Vientiane Times
In a stirring act of patriotism, the remains of the country's first generation of revolutionary leaders were taken from their various resting places and placed at the Kaysone Phomvihane Museum in Vientiane on Friday, accompanied by a traditional Buddhist ceremony.
Thousands of people including high-ranking Party and government officials gathered at the museum for the merit-making ceremony following the arrival of the leaders' remains.
Party Secretary General and President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone and other Politburo members were among those present.
The remains included those of the late President Kaysone Phomvihane, former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh, President Souphanouvong, Mr Phoumy Vongvichit, Mr Phoun Sipaseuth and Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay.
The remains of a later generation of leaders included Mr Saly Vongkhamxao, Mr Maychantan Sengmany, Mr Oudom Khattiya, Mr Somlath Chanthamath, Mr Osakan Thammatheva, Mr Khambou Sounixay, Mr Sompheth Thipmala, and Mr Vaenthong Luangvilay.
The ceremony, which was led by 120 monks, gave devotees the opportunity to make merit and show their respect for these leaders, whose great contributions and sacrifices ultimately led to national liberation in 1975.
Among those attending the ceremony was Mr Khammeung Boulaphone of Luang Namtha province. He said he was proud of the contributions and efforts of these leaders, who inspired solidarity among all Lao people in joining the fight against powerful colonialists.
"Despite difficulties, our leaders were determined not to surrender to the colonialists. If they hadn't been there for us then, we may not have what we do today," he said.
Monk Sithon Xayavongsone of the Buddhist Organisation for Development said "There are three things in particular that make me proud of our revolutionary leaders. These include their sacrifice and devotion, their honesty, and their strength of heart . Today's young people should learn from them, so they can accelerate the nation's development efforts."
Today, an almsgiving ceremony will take place at the museum in the morning, with 120 monks again in attendance. This will be followed by the removal of the leaders' remains to the National Cemetery in the afternoon.
At the cemetery, there will be a mass mourning of the leaders, whose remains will be placed in stupas.
The reinterment is part of activities to mark the 57th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
The relocation assembles the remains of the revolutionary leaders in one place to make it easier for the younger generations to pay tribute and recall their good deeds.
The placement of their remains in the National Cemetery serves to express gratitude to those leaders who devoted their lives to the fight for liberation, as well as encouraging a spirit of patriotism and solidarity among young people.
Since the Party Central Committee issued a notice concerning the reinterment last week, various government bodies in Vientiane and the provinces have delivered lectures on the virtuous deeds of the leaders.
The lectures ensured that officials fully understood the good deeds of the leaders and their sacrifices in fighting powerful colonialists, in their bid to bring independence, freedom and prosperity to all Lao people.
By being fully informed about the good deeds and shining example set by the revolutionary leaders, government officials can absorb these and apply them to their work and personal life.

Vientiane Times is publishing a series of articles detailing the development and leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party to mark the 10th Party Congress which takes place this month.
The Eighth Party Congress took place in Vientiane from March 18-21, 2006, and saw Mr Choummaly Sayasone elected as Secretary General of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, replacing Party President Khamtay Siphandone.
The congress accepted the retirement of President Khamtay along with that of Advisor to the Party Central Committee Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh, and elected Mr Choummaly to the renamed top leadership position of Secretary General.
In addition, the congress elected two new Politburo members - Mr Somsavat Lengsavad and Ms Pany Yathotu. This was the first time that a woman was elected to this position. In all, 11 people were elected Politburo members.
The 498 delegates that represented the 148,590 Party members nationwide attended the congress and assessed the leadership of the Party in its implementation of the renovation policy over the past 20 years.
A national development directive for 2006-10 was set, aiming to work towards the eradication of poverty and create conditions that would lift Laos out of Least Developed Country status by the year 2020.
The congress also elected the Eighth Central Committee which comprised 55 members, two more than elected by the previous congress. Four of the members were women, and the average age of all committee members was 57. According to Politburo member Mr Thongsing Thammavong, the new Central Party Committee members, the oldest of whom was 79, were all tried and tested revolutionaries.
They had been active and enthusiastic in the renovation movement and were good role models for all Party members and the Lao people.
“The congress was unanimous in adopting the amended Party Statute and electing the new Executive Committee of the Central Party Committee, combining different ages, genders and ethnic groups in order to ensure the successful implementation of the targets set by the Eighth Congress. This committee is the core of the solidarity and unity of our Party and people,” said newly elected Secretary General Mr Choummaly.
Mr Choummaly expressed his appreciation for the ceaseless work done by Mr Khamtay and Mr Nouhak in leading the nation to liberation and development for almost half a century.
Mr Choummaly was born into a farming family in Vatneua village, Saysettha district, Attapeu province. His passion for leadership was forged in the flames of the national struggle for liberation, when he engaged in numerous decisive battles. Among the first of these was the battle for the protection of the two provinces recognised as the stronghold of the revolutionary forces in 1955-56. He then assumed command of the Xieng Khuang armed forces to liberate Salaphoukhoun, Kasy, Vangvieng, Phonhong and Vientiane in 1975.
Victory in these battles paved the way for the Pathet Lao to seize power nationwide and establish the Lao People's Democratic Republic in 1975.
Mr Choummaly held many important posts. At the Third Congress he was elected to the Central Committee, at the fourth he became an alternate Politburo member, and became a full Politburo member at the Fifth Congress. The inauguration session of the Party Central Committee elected seven members to form the Party Secretariat.

The Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC)'s role as the fundamental unifying political body in the fight for national liberation, protection and development was highlighted in Vientiane yesterday to mark the revolutionary movement's 65th anniversary.
The LFNC was established on August 13, 1950, when it was known as Neo Lao Issara (Free Lao Front) with Prince Souphanouvong as its president.
Following the Front, the Lao resistance government was also established with Prince Souphanouvong as prime minister, Mr Kaysone Phomvihane as minister in charge of the military, Mr Nouhak Phoumsavanh became minister of economics, Mr Phoumy Vongvichit was minister in charge of the interior, and Prince Souk Vongsak was in charge of education.
Speaking at the meeting in Vientiane yesterday, LFNC President Prof. Dr Phanduangchit Vongsa said the Front was a fundamental political organisation that openly dealt with internal and foreign affairs following the cancellation of the Communist Party of Indochina one year later.
The Front contributed greatly to mobilising people in building the revolutionary stronghold and expanding the revolutionary movement in both the political arena and the armed forces.
The Front contributed to the fighting that accompanied the victorious liberation battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam in 1954, which led to the Geneva Agreement 1954 on Indochina.
The Front also contributed significantly to the establishment of the Lao People's Party (today the Lao People's Revolutionary Party) on March 22, 1955.
Prof. Dr Phanduangchit reminded the audience of the most critical period from 1957 to 1960 when the second battalion of the Lao Patriotic Front (today's LFNC) was blockaded by the enemy at the Plain of Jars, and the Front's leaders were arrested. However, the battalion and leaders succeeded in escaping from the blockade and prison.
After the country achieved liberation, Lao Patriotic Front was the flag bearer for unifying the people for national defence and development, he said.
In his address at the meeting Vice President Bounnhang Vorachit saluted the outstanding courage and great sense of duty exhibited by the Front, saying the national mission and victory would not have succeeded without the united Front's contributions.
Meanwhile, he called on the Front to exert more effort to overcome the challenges of the new era which came together with opportunities.
He detailed the tasks to be implemented with the Party to guide the Front and mass organisations at all levels to match their political duty in the new era. A joint effort was needed for the success of the Party mission and prosperity of the people, to strengthen the nation, while building a society of conciliation and democracy, justice and civilisation.
Vice President Bounnhang also called for improvements to the Front and mass organisations to meet the challenges of developing a socialist style market economy where democracy was ruled by law amid regional and international integration.
