The first cooperation relations between Luxembourg and Laos go back to 1997 and today Laos is one of Luxembourg’s development cooperation’s preferred partner countries.

The fourth ICP (2016-2020), which was signed in September 2015, is currently in full swing and is implementing projects in all the priority sectors: health, rural development, vocational training in tourism and hospitality, as well as good governance and the rule of law. 2018 was marked by the continuity of project implementation.

2018 also saw the start of the identification of two new projects in the finance sector and in the area of capacity building. It should also be noted that Luxembourg carried out a mid-term review of its Indicative Cooperation Programme in Laos; the review highlighted the fact that “the scale of Luxembourg’s investment, in particular the continuity and flexibility of Luxembourg’s support provide added value.”
