Former Lao Deputy Prime Minister SomsavadLengsavath, who was formerly the Secretary to late President Kaysone Phomvihanefor nearly 30 years, affirmed that President Ho Chi Minh and the CommunistParty of Indochina’s decision to establish a particular party in each countryin 1951 was a prudent decision, thus leading to the formation of the LPRP.
