Interviewer: Last year was yesterday and a new year is ahead of us, what would you like to say to our family and friends that are watching us now?

Prince: I wish everyone a happy new year. Please leave all the bitterness and negative alone and move forward to a better new year. May you all be prosperous, healthy, and have great success.

Prince: Thank you for this interview & thank you to Hmong Thao Family/Friends for inviting me to this event. To answer your question, I'm speechless & deeply saddened by the loss of Phagna Norapamok General Vang Pao. With his passing, we are now like children without parents. He was the ray and hope of our community that was recognized and well known throughout the world. I ask that everyone remeber and carry on Phagna Norapamok General Vang Pao' good deeds, hope and dreams for our people.

I asked one of my Laotion friend to translate/paraphrase.... it's not word for word, but gives us a gist of the conversation-

Interviewer: This is the first year without Generval Vang Pao and we won't ever see and meet with him again. In the past, you and the General had opportunities to go and meeeith with family/friends within the community. What are your though...ts now that the General is no longer here?

Is there any possible way you could interpret/translate the interview with the Prince?
