In 2023,Laos firmly pursued an all-round foreign policy. While deepening its relations with traditional friendly countries,it established extensive contacts with countries around the world and created a good external environment for domestic construction. At the same time,Laos actively built the core diplomatic circle by strengthening cooperation and interconnection with neighboring countries,transformed from a “land-locked country” to a “land-linked country”,so that the advantages of the Indo-China Peninsula regional center were highlighted. In order to cope with economic difficulties and solve the problem of inflation,the Lao government turned to the more active economic diplomacy,that is,to enhance Laos’ influence through diplomatic channels and guide the development of investment,trade and tourism. 2024 is an important diplomatic moment for Laos to show and enhance its influence in the regional and international arena. Laos will take advantage of its rotating presidency of ASEAN to show its development achievements,make its voice heard and get more foreign investment and assistance.
