President Thongloun Sisoulith has extended best wishes to Lao compatriots, Lao expatriates abroad and foreign expatriates in Laos on the occasion of Lao New Year (Pi Mai Lao), which falls on April 14-16.
.
“On this auspicious occasion to welcome the upcoming new year [the year of the rabbit 2566 BE], may I wish all compatriots, people of Lao origin living abroad, and foreign expatriates living in Laos or engaged in missions here, physical and mental wellbeing, good health, and progress throughout the year 2566,” the president said.
“May this Lao New Year brings new and greater success and wellbeing to the entire Lao people.”
The leader called for joint efforts in the year to come to overcome the difficulties and challenges currently facing Laos.
He said that over the outgoing year – the year of the tiger 2565 BE – the Lao people had united as one in striving to address the country’s difficulties and challenges.
With that, Laos has continued to enjoy political stability and social security and order. The economy has recorded steady growth and people are enjoying a better quality of life. This has been made possible because Laos has been able to resume cooperation with friendly countries and welcome investment and tourists after the Covid-19 pandemic subsided and restrictions were lifted.
The abovementioned achievements were the result of the collective sense of ownership and solidarity of the Lao multiethnic people countrywide to actively fulfil the resolution adopted by the 11th National Party Congress and the 9th National Socio-economic Development Plan, President Thongloun said.
.
“May I take this opportunity to wholeheartedly congratulate everyone on the achievements gained throughout the year of the tiger,” said the president, who is also Secretary General of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party’s Central Committee.
However, Laos will continue to face hardships and challenges in the coming year.
“Therefore, I urge the entire Party, state, armed forces and people to maintain and enhance the sound traditions of the nation, consolidating cohesive solidarity and exerting all physical and spiritual power and wisdom into national defence and development tasks, while pushing harder to meet the goals of the two national agendas,” he said,
refering to the national agendas designed to address economic and financial difficulties and drug trade and abuse.
“These aim to create self-strength, and strong and broad changes in all areas throughout the year of the rabbit,” the president said.
