Secretary - Governor of Sekong Province Lech-lay Si-vi-lay suggested that it is necessary to include documentary images of the late Secretary - Governor Le Viet Muong (Bo Nhon) - who made many contributions to the national liberation struggle of Sekong and the southern Lao provinces. Later, in his position as Secretary - Governor of Sekong Province, he also contributed much effort and intelligence to the prosperous development of Sekong Province as it is today.

"Although Mr. Le Viet Muong did not directly operate in the Lower Laos resistance zone, he had connections in revolutionary activities, as well as the tradition of solidarity and friendship between Quang Nam and Se Kong" - comrade Lech-lay Si-vi-lay shared.
