As part of their working visit to Laos’ Luang Prabang province, a high-level delegation of Son La province led by Hoang Van Nghiem, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, and head of the provincial delegation of National Assembly deputies, visited and surveyed several cultural heritage sites, key tourist attractions, and cooperation projects between the two localities on June 26.

The delegation visited the Luang Prabang Royal Palace Museum, one of Laos' most prominent historical, cultural, and spiritual landmarks. Built in 1904, the place once served as the residence of the Lao Royal Family and now houses a rich collection of valuable artifacts reflecting the history and cultural heritage of Laos throughout different periods.

The two-storey building has a total floor area of 820 square meters. The facility not only provides modern infrastructure to support the province's external relations activities but also stands as a symbol of the special solidarity, traditional friendship, and enduring partnership between the two provinces.
