#Laos y los créditos para el desarrollo de #China «China financió gran parte de la nueva infraestructura que transformó a Laos. Pero el país sin litoral de 7,5 millones de habitantes está en dificultades económicas debido a su deuda.» https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2023/laos-debt-china-belt-road/

🇷🇺🇱🇦 Laos doesn't intend to send troops to back Russia Worries about potential international reprisals and censure may have prevented Laos from sending troops to back Russia in the Ukraine war, analysts say. Laotian state media reported this week that the country had refuted recent claims circulating in Ukrainian news outlets suggesting it was preparing for troop deployment to Russia’s military operations in Ukraine. Vientiane said the claims were baseless and designed to cause confusion and damage the country’s international standing. Adding that no evidence existed to support the claims, Laos said the allegations were a “deliberate distortion of the truth” intended to create misunderstanding among the global community. #Russia#Laos @asianomics

🇹🇭🇱🇦🇨🇳Thailand–China Rail Service Cuts Durian Prices A new cold-storage rail service linking Thailand, Laos, and Yunnan province has begun moving durian shipments to China, with the first freight train departing over the weekend and reported by state broadcaster CCTV on Tuesday. Thailand is China's largest durian supplier, accounting for over 90% of imports. The route leverages the Laos–China Railway to reduce transit times and cold-chain costs compared to sea freight. Lower landed prices in China are a direct result of compressed logistics, making the corridor commercially significant beyond durian — it establishes a scalable cold-storage rail model for perishable trade across the Mekong subregion. The service formalizes agricultural supply chain integration between mainland Southeast Asia and China, reinforcing the Belt and Road rail corridor's commercial utility. #China#Thailand#Laos @asianomics

🇱🇦 On December 2, #Laos celebrates the 5️⃣0️⃣th anniversary of the proclamation of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. This commemorative date coincides with the 80th Anniversary of the Great Victory. The defeat of Nazism and the end of World War II gave a powerful impetus to the process of decolonisation in Asia. The Lao people, who declared their independence in October 1945, needed several more decades to defend it. As a result of determined struggle and political and diplomatic efforts aimed at preserving the country’s neutrality amid foreign aggression in Indochina, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic was officially established in 1975. Our country played a significant role in supporting the Lao people in their national liberation movement, as well as in building Lao statehood, developing the economy, and strengthening its defense capabilities. With support from the USSR, major industrial enterprises, key transport infrastructure, medical institutions, and educational facilities were built. 🤝 Diplomatic relations between our countries were established on October 7, 1960. On March 9, 1994, the Treaty on the Fundamentals of Friendly Relations was signed. In October 2011, the Declaration on the Russia–Laos Strategic Partnership in the Asia-Pacific Region was adopted. Today, our countries are seeing steady progress in the development of a trust-based dialogue at the highest and high levels, expanded cooperation between parliaments and government agencies and intensified trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian and regional ties within the framework of the Russia–Laos strategic partnership. 💬Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: We highly value the careful attitude of our Lao friends toward the pages of our shared past, the preservation of historical truth and the prevention of any attempts to distort it. We know that Laos cherishes the memory of the assistance our country provided in establishing its statehood. <...> Under current conditions, Russia and Laos face new challenges and opportunities. The strengthening of strategic partnership between our countries allows us to look to the future with hope and optimism (excerpt from the article by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for Lao media, “Russia and Laos: 65 Years of Time-Tested Friendship”, November 20, 2025) 🎉 We congratulate our Lao colleagues and friends on their national holiday and wish them well-being and prosperity! #RussiaLaos

🇯🇵🇹🇭🇰🇭🇱🇦🇻🇳Japan Backs UNODC to Hit Mekong Scam Networks Japan will provide up to ¥516 million in grant aid via UNODC to strengthen anti-scam enforcement in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. The support targets organized fraud in the Mekong region, funding specialized investigation equipment and training for law enforcement. Tokyo says losses from special fraud exceeded ¥300 billion last year. The initiative complements wider regional action, as UNODC warns scam centres are evolving into a $40B ecosystem tied to trafficking and illicit finance, spreading beyond Southeast Asia. #Japan#Thailand#Cambodia#Laos#Vietnam @asianomics

🇷🇺Russia has accumulated considerable experience in assisting friendly states in the creation and development of sustainable school feeding systems. For over 10 years the UN World Food Program has been our main international partner in this area. Implemented with Russian expert & financial participation, WFP projects are focused on assisting to elaborate national programs for school meals development, refitting school canteens with new equipment, organizing the supply of quality food, training cooks, and introducing modern methods of provision children with a balanced and healthy diet. The most large-scale projects are being implemented in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan. In 2020, similar initiatives were launched with #WFP for Nicaragua, Cuba & Jordan. Since 2022, we have expanded the geography of assistance to the Asia-Pacific region (#Cambodia🇰🇭, #Laos🇱🇦 & Sri Lanka). 🤝Russia will continue constructive interaction with the WFP to provide assistance to countries in need and ensure global food security.

Laos: dal XII Congresso del Partito al voto popolare Il 22 febbraio il Laos ha rinnovato il suo parlamento (X Assemblea Nazionale) e i consigli provinciali. Oltre 4,7 milioni di elettori erano chiamati alle urne per scegliere 175 deputati, in un’elezione presentata come il naturale proseguimento delle linee tracciate dal recente XII Congresso del Partito Rivoluzionario. Dopo aver definito la visione strategica fino al 2030 e al 2055, l’obiettivo ora è tradurre le direttive in azioni concrete. Nei resoconti ufficiali e nelle interviste ai cittadini emergono temi ricorrenti: non solo la fedeltà al Partito, ma anche richieste molto pratiche legate al costo della vita, alla gestione dei rifiuti, alle infrastrutture e alla stabilità dei servizi. Un passaggio che conferma il primato del Partito, ma che cerca di aprire spazi (controllati) di dialogo tra istituzioni e bisogni quotidiani della popolazione. #Laos#Politica#Elezioni#SudestAsiatico#AssembleaNazionale https://www.marx21.it/comunisti-oggi/dal-xii-congresso-alle-urne-il-laos-rinnova-il-suo-corpo-legislativo/

Laos: continuità politica e nuovo slancio nella cooperazione con il Vietnam Le recenti elezioni legislative in Laos hanno confermato una solida linea di continuità politica, in linea con le direttive del XII Congresso del Partito Rivoluzionario. Con un'affluenza massiccia, il rinnovato Parlamento (con 169 membri del partito su 175) si prepara ad attuare l'agenda di sviluppo nazionale 2026-2030. Più che un semplice voto, si tratta di un consolidamento istituzionale in cui la legittimazione del sistema si basa su stabilità, crescita e coesione sociale. Ma il dato più interessante è la sempre più stretta "coesione strategica" con il Vietnam. Subito dopo il voto, i due paesi hanno annunciato una maggiore cooperazione parlamentare, economica e militare. Gli scambi commerciali superano i 3 miliardi di dollari e gli investimenti vietnamiti in Laos crescono, confermando Hanoi come partner di prim'ordine per Vientiane. Un'alleanza che non è solo ideologica, ma concreta e proiettata allo sviluppo comune. #Laos#Vietnam#Politica#Cooperazione#SudEstAsiatico#Sviluppo https://www.marx21.it/comunisti-oggi/laos-dopo-il-voto-continuita-politica-rinnovamento-istituzionale-e-cooperazione-strategica-con-il-vietnam/
