This Saemaul Undong program held for four nights and five days was joined by 20 high ranking public officials of Bolikhamxay including Governor Kongkeo Xaysongkham) and Vice-governor Bounseng Pathammavong.
This training session was organized through the direct request of Bolikhamxay Province, Laos to learn about the economic development experience and policy knowhow of Korea through the Saemaul Undong at YU, which is an educational institute specializing in Saemaul Undong. This was even more meaningful as all costs for the program was paid for by Bolikhamxay Province. Most of the Saemaul Undong training in Korea for personnel from emerging countries were of invitations by the central and local governments, public institutes and companies.
