The building, a special gift from the Party, State and people of Vietnam to the Party, State and people of Laos, was inaugurated after nearly 38 months of construction. The 112 million USD project was invested by the Ministry of Construction, and Army Corps 11 under the Ministry of Defense worked as general contractor.
Built on the foundation of the old National Assembly house at Thatluang Square, the center of Vientiane capital city, the building is the venue for meetings of the Lao National Assembly and important ceremonies.
