On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, we send our congratulations on Laos’ National Day to President Bounnhang Vorachit and the people of Laos.

Our Comprehensive Partnership and Laos’ role as the U.S. Country Coordinator for ASEAN continues to strengthen our ties and yield new opportunities. The United States is honored to be a close and reliable partner with the people of Laos. Our steadfast support for Laos’ development goals, increasing commercial ties, and continued collaboration on war legacy and humanitarian issues demonstrate the deepening friendship between our two countries.

I am confident we will continue to advance our partnership to ensure shared security and prosperity, and a free and open Indo-Pacific region. We wish the Lao people a prosperous and wonderful year.
