Particularly, the public security forces of the two countries have developed close cooperation, mutual trust, and impartial assistance. A highlight of the close friendships between the two forces was when Vietnamese public security experts came to Laos 60 years ago, standing side by side with Lao security cadres to fight the common enemy and build the Lao Public Security Forces. Over the past 60 years, generations of Vietnamese public security experts in Laos have devoted their youths and even their lives to the protection of the revolutionary cause of Laos.

The Deputy Minister emphasized that, with over 300 images, documents and valuable artifacts, the exhibition gives audiences a clear insight into the 60-year development of the Lao PPSF, as well as into the close friendship, special solidarity, reliable and effective cooperation between the two public security forces over the past 60 years.
