Wait and see how Laos govt. handle that situation.
During CCCP was still in power, Laos PDR don't want to ask help from Europe Capitalist countries. They were calling them as " Chackaphath sakon " and blamed them as number two ENEMY after " Chackaphath " America.
Why Laos PDR don't ask help from China, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba to help develop the country.
What's a shame communist country asks help from non-communist country.
That is why Laos never win the war, because some of Lao people is too selfish and they only do thing for themself not the country. For Example: communist leader. Why he and his family so rich? I am Including all of his cousin and relative. I think he is the Family of God sent. He never been elected from people in the country. Unless you are the mafia and you are above the law.
