Speaking at the ceremony, Minister To Lam expressed his belief that the project will meet training needs for teaching and learning of up to 1,200 students and 150 staff of the Political Academy of the Lao People's Police.
Minister To Lam also pledged that the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam will continue to support the Ministry of Public Security of Laos to standardize the training program and build capacity of the teaching staff of the Lao school.
