On 16 September 2025, H.E. Ms. Morakot Sriswasdi, Ambassador of Thailand to the Lao PDR, paid a farewell call on Mr. Bounkhouang Thavisak, Vice President of the People’s Supreme Court of the Lao PDR, on the occasion of the completion of her tenure at the end of September 2025.

Both sides exchanged views on legal and judicial cooperation, particularly the collaboration between the People’s SupremeCourt of the Lao PDR and the Supreme Administrative Court of Thailand, which successfully led to the establishment of the Administrative Court Chamber in the People’s Supreme Court of the Lao PDR in 2021, and has since been further strengthened through various activities to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and the Lao PDR, such as academic seminars on administrative law and exchanges of best practices in administrative litigation.

 

In addition, the two sides discussed the prospect of capacity building of Lao legal personnel, the enhancement of cooperation between judicial institutions of the two countries, and efforts to raise public awareness of each country’s laws in order to prevent legal violations by nationals who frequently travel between the two countries.
