2025 is a milestone year for Laos! 🎉 On Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement tying together some major anniversaries and restating its support for the one-China principle.
According to the ministry, this year marks:
- 50 years since the founding of the Lao People's Democratic Republic
- 80 years since the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War (the end of WWII)
- 80 years since the United Nations was established
- 70 years since Laos joined the UN
The ministry highlighted that a core purpose of the UN is to uphold the post-war global order. On this occasion, Laos firmly backed UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, recognized Taiwan as an inalienable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China, and opposed any interference in the Chinese mainland's internal affairs. 🤝
For young adventurers and digital nomads in ASEAN, these moves hint at the region’s evolving diplomatic vibes—shaping how we travel, trade, and connect online. Stay tuned as Laos and partners navigate 2025’s big moments! 🌏
