Authorities meet on proposed Law of Treaties
Authorities from eight northern provinces met in Bokeo province recently to discuss a proposed draft law of treaties and international agreements. The draft law would be the first law issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and would set the principles, regulations and procedures for treaty implementation created by government. The law would allow central state departments, relevant sectors, Lao Front for National Construction, mass organisations and local authorities to defend treaties and international agreements. The legislation aims to promote unity in the country by focusing on foreign policy to encourage peace, independence and friendly relations, as well as develop cooperation between Laos and overseas nations while integrating regionally and internationally.
