On 11 May 2023, H.E. Ms. Morakot Sriswasdi, Ambassador of Thailand to the Lao PDR paid a courtesy call on H.E. Mr. Monexay Laomoaxong, Secretary General of Lao Youth Union, on the occasion of her assumption of duty. Both sides discussed on-going and future cooperations between the Royal Thai Embassy and Lao Youth Union on youth empowerment, agricultural trainings through the Royal Initiated Projects and TICA’s learning centres in the Lao PDR. They also agreed to enhance cooperation between young Thai entrepreneurs and Young Entrepreneurs Association of Laos (YEAL).
The Royal Thai Embassy, Vientiane, has supported the Lao Youth Union in various projects over the past years, such as International Children Day and National Tree Day’s activities, the establishment of the first Lao Youth Orchestra, and activities to help prevent the spread of Covid 19. Last year, the Embassy invited representatives from the Lao Youth Union to attend a field trip to sustainable development projects in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces, Thailand. These cooperations are part of the Embassy’s policy to work with Lao organisations in order to enhance role and well-being of children, women, and people with disabilities in Lao PDR.
