Chinese government has donated CNY 78 million to Laos to support the construction of a dining ballroom at the National Convention Centre, Vientiane Capital, which will be used for hosting VIP guests, heads of state, and government leaders.

An agreement on the Chinese government provision of the grant assistance was signed on Aug 11 in Vientiane between Deputy Head of Prime Minister's Office, Dr Viengsavanh Duangsavanh and Economic Counselor of Chinese Embassy in Laos Wang Qihui in the presence of relevant officials of both sides.

The construction of the ballroom is expected to begin by the end of this year and scheduled to be completed in late 2019.

The ballroom is designed to be a single-storey building consisting of one grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, one VIP dining room for heads of state and one dining room for ministers.
