Government has a special policy for Hmong people

(KPL ) The governor of Vientiane province, Mr Khammeung Phongthady said the local authority of Vientiane province would be relocating a group of Hmong people from Phagnaeng Tay village, Saysomboune district to Feuang district.

He also said to the Deputy Standing President of the Lao Front for National Construction, Mr Tong Yeutho, last week, that some Hmong people had to be relocated because of the construction of the Nam-Ngum II dam and the government would compensate them.

In his clarification about the socio-economic development of Laos, Mr Tong said that it was part of the Party-State policy to provide jobs and land and at the same time to consolidate small villages into larger villages, particularly the villages that are affected by government projects. He said that the Party and government had a special policy for the Hmong people, especially on housing and land for farming.
