The substance of the public communication is the Party’s propagation of revolutionary. Therefore, public communication positioned particularly important role in the revolutionary cause of the Party. In any revolutionary period, LPRP always appreciates and focuses on public communication, considers it as a regular and strategic task of the revolution; contribute into ensuring great victories in the cause of construction and national protection. Lao People's Army organized and leaded by LPRP is a powerful tool of violence, the loyal and trusted political forces of the Party, State and people whose functions and tasks is ready to combat; to participate into labor force; to conduct public communication and to build a strong political base. Implementation of public communication is a basic function, an important political task, and a strategic issue of the Lao People's Army (LPA) in every revolutionary period. The northwestern provinces of Laos are regions with an important strategic position on economy, politics, culture, society, defense and security of the country.
