Welcome to the official Website of the Permanent Mission of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) to the United Nations in New York.

As a full member of the United Nations since 1955, the Lao PDR has consistently and actively been engaging itself in the United Nations and international undertakings through its foreign policy of promoting global peace and security, friendship, independence and international cooperation. The Lao PDR has a long and enhanced partnership with the UN system and its relevant bodies and agencies in various areas. In this context, the Lao PDR is strongly committed to the work of the United Nations and to the good partnership exiting between the Lao PDR and the United Nations.

This website intends to provide official information about the Lao PDR, its work and activities at the United Nations as well as its principle positions on various international issues. In addition, it also provides different sources of information on the Government and socio-economic development of the country, culture and tradition of the Lao people as well as sources for tourism of the Lao PDR.

I hope that this website could help our visitors gain a better understanding about the Lao PDR and its people, the work and mandate of our Mission at the United Nations and international forums as a whole.

I wish you all the best and thank you for visiting our website
