AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Labor: Thailand plans to extend work permits for Lao workers, allowing eligible employees to keep working without the usual 30-day break as the country tackles a labour shortage. Accountability: A corruption investigation in Luang Namtha implicated 184 people and found losses exceeding 23.3 billion kip; authorities have recovered more than 16 billion kip, with cases brought against 23 people. Culture: Lao larb is closer to UNESCO recognition, with a final decision expected at a committee meeting in China from November 30 to December 5. Regional stage: Laos will compete in the first Eurovision Song Contest Asia in Bangkok on November 14, alongside 10 other countries. Clean energy: A 133-turbine wind project in Sekong is adding to Laos’ renewable power capacity and could help advance plans for a regional electricity grid.
