Comrades,
While I have a floor and due to time constraint allow me lo say just few words about our Party and our country..
The Lao People’s Revolutionary’ Party, founded 51 years ago, has lead the Lao multi-ethnic People to conduct a National independence Revolution.
The country was liberated without bloodshed in 1915 leading lo the solemn foundation of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic on 2nd December 1975.
Since that time, the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party continues to lead the Lao multi-ethnic People in carrying out the Strategy of national protection and the construction of the country.
At the present time, following the Implementation of the Renovation Policy, the opened-door cooperation policy and the promotion of the market economy under the adjustment of the Government,, we are delighted to say that our country enjoys the political stability, the social order guaranteed, the average of the GDP growth at about 6,2%, and the standard of life of the multi-ethnic population gradually improved. Thus, the role and prestige of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic increase significantly in the regional and international arena.
Such satisfactory situation has never been happened in the history of our country.
On March this year, the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party hold successfully its VIII Party Congress in Vientiane.
During the four days event, Delegates discussed several issues relating to and highly appreciated the Party’s Leadership over the past five years, reviewed the results of Fifth five year: Plan and also discussed the Sixth five year Plan on National Socio Economic Development to be implemented over the next five years.
The Sixth National Socio economic Development Plan plays a crucial role and will lay fundamental foundation in achieving the National Socio Economic Development Strategy Goal in order to move our Country out of the statute of the Least Developing Countries by the year 2020.
We are firmly convinced that, under the clear sight Leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic will surely move forward smoothly with dynamism lo reach our ambitions Development Strategy Goal by the year 2020 as above-mentioned so that we will be able to built a Socialist Society in our Country in the future.
