Vietnam hands over radio and television station to Laos

Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) will hold an inauguration ceremony to hand over the Radio and Television station in Luangprabang province to Laos to celebrate the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party 9th Congress and the 7th National Assembly election in March.

The station has an antenna 110m tall and a television transmitter with a capacity of 5kW as well as FM radio transmitter with a 10kW capacity. After a year of construction, the building was completed and the station has been operating well.

The project is sourced from non-refundable assistance to Laos from the Vietnamese Government during the 2006-2010 period. The construction covers an area of 11,628sq.m and has a total investment of more than VND57 billion.

The station was inaugurated under an agreement on economic, cultural, technological and scientific cooperation signed in 2009 between the Vietnamese and Lao Governments. VOV and the Laos Ministry of Information and Culture agreed to cooperate on building a radio and television station in Luangprabang province, Laos.

VOV had previously helped Laos build a radio and television station in Champasack province.
