This is an event of special significance in preserving and promoting historical values, demonstrating respect and honoring the solidarity and close bond between the armies and people of the two countries. At the same time, this is meaningful in commemorating and paying tribute to the tens of thousands of Vietnamese and Lao soldiers and youth volunteers who have devoted and sacrificed on the legendary route, while also contributing to affirming the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos. The relic is a red address for educating revolutionary traditions, fostering patriotism and solidarity for future generations.
