25th SEA Games, Laos

Mr. Somsavat Lengsavad, Standing Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the 25th SEA Games Organising Committee, urged the transport committee to pay more attention to all liaison officers (LO) and volunteer officers (VO) to closely advise and organise a training course in term of theory and practice to ensure their responsibility and good performance.

Mr. Somsavat Lengsavad who talked to 4,261 liaison and volunteer officers in Vientiane on 18 November, highlighted the main duties and obligations of the liaison and volunteer officers, who will work to welcome sports delegations from 11 nations. He asked the committee to organise more training for them until the opening day.

The training should concentrate on LO's and VO's responsibilities and their work places. Mr. Somsavat also asked LOs and VOs to learn more about the culture, tradition and geography of the country of their guests to facilitate their coordination and communication.
