The Lao People’s Democratic Republic is an inland country located in the southern part of the Asian continent.
Laos, which had been a colony of foreign aggressors for a long time, achieved its independence in October 1945.
But the US stretched its tentacles of domination to Laos, inciting domestic conflict. The Lao people launched an armed uprising in May 1975 under the leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party to drive out the US imperialists and founded the people’s democratic republic on December 2 that year.
After that they began to build a new independent life.
Under the leadership of the party, they have made strenuous efforts to achieve national unity, defend the gains of the revolution and build civilized and prosperous society.
As it focuses on agriculture, forestry and hydroelectric power generation, Laos strives to lay the foundation for industrialization through the establishment of a series of large businesses. It also positively introduces advanced farming methods and techniques to bring about a turn in agricultural development.
The Laotian government works hard to attain the goal of satisfying 30 percent of domestic power needs by dint of renewables by 2025. A wind power station to be built in a province is the largest of power plants using natural energy sources in the country and, when complete, the electricity problem will reportedly be resolved.
The government also pays close attention to stabilizing the people’s living as it channels efforts into eliminating poverty and building dwelling houses.
In order to implement the plan of a new stage for eradicating poverty, it has been carrying on a project for assisting more than 220 villages with their economic development till 2027. The completion of the project is said to lift over 172 000 residents out of poverty.
Remarkable progress has also been made in the training of talents.
As it boosts its defence capabilities by enhancing the combat efficiency of the army, Laos has staged joint drills and joint military exercises with different countries like China and Russia.
Externally, the country maintains the principles of peace, independence, friendship and cooperation based on independence, noninterference, equality and mutual benefits, takes an active part in the activities of regional and international organizations and positively promotes friendly and cooperative relations with neighbouring countries. This year alone, the Laotian government has increased cooperation in a broad range of sectors with different countries including Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, India, East Timor and Kazakhstan.
The Korean people congratulate the Laotian counterpart on the achievements they have made in their struggle to defend socialist ideology and increase comprehensive national power on the occasion of their national holiday, and extend full support for and solidarity with them.
