Laos confident about development of Don Sahong dam
Lao Deputy Prime Minister Somsavat Lengsavad is confident the run-of-river Don Sahong dam in Champassak province will be a success after learning more about the processes involved in the scheme.
Mr Somsavat went to the project site in southern Laos on 11 October after visiting Cambodia to reassure the Cambodian government about the construction of the 260MW dam.
The main aim of his visit was to see the site first-hand and get a sense of the natural and social environment of the project area, which lies in the far south of Champassak province.
