Thai PM visits Laos, pledges to buy 7,000 megawatts of electricity


VIENTIANE, Sept 16 - Thailand and the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) pledged to look forward together through various kinds of bilateral cooperation in an attempt to enhance the growth of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The promised cooperation between the two neighbour countries was made during the one-day official introductory visit of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to Vientiane, the Lao capital.

Ms Yingluck left Bangkok Friday afternoon and received an official welcome from her Lao counterpart Tongsing Tammawong.

Both leaders later held bilateral talks and pledged to boost the relations of the two countries, paving the way to implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.


The Thai premier gave assurances to the neighbour over the continuity of the policy of the Thai government, as well as its strong determination to promote and strengthen the ties and cooperation between the two countries through existing frameworks such as the Thai-Lao Joint Commission (JC).

The Thai prime minister emphasised the importance of infrastructure development in Lao as both countries are connecting points of economic drive in the regional bloc.

Ms Yingluck also reaffirmed that Thailand will buy 7,000 megawatts of electricity from Lao as earlier agreed.

The Thai premier also expressed condolences regarding the natural disaster in Lao and presented Bt2.5 financial aid to the affected victims.

She discussed the inauguration of the third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge across the Mekong River, this linking Thailand's Nakhon Phanom province with Khammuane province in the Lao PDR.

Ms Yingluck invited the Lao premier to visit Thailand to boost relations.

The Lao prime minister hosted a dinner in honour of the Thai prime minister before she returned to Thailand Friday night. (MCOT online news)

    Yeah....U r so right..... Selling 7000 mgw to Thailand in return they charged even more expensive than we sold them.
    That's why in the capital city still see some darkness in the street. Lao produced electricity but Lao pple still lack of electricity thru out the villages. I just don't get it.

    ແມ່ນຢູ່ ປະຊາຊົນລາວບາງເຂດ ແມ່ນບໍ່ມີໄຟຟ້າໄຊ້. ທ່ານຮູ້ບໍ່ວ່າ
    ຄ່າໄຊ້ຈ່າຍໃນການແລ່ນສາຍໄຟຟ້າແລະເສົາ ໄປໃນຫມູ່ນບ້ານນ້ອຍໆ
    ນັ້ນຄ່າໄຊ້ຈ່າຍມັນສູງ. ສະນັ້ນອາດຈະມີບັນຫາຢູ່ ເພາະຄົນລາວ
    ມັກຢູ່ກັນເປັນຫມູ່ບ້ານນອ້ຍໆ ຫ່າງໄກກັນພໍສົມຄວນ
    ອີກບໍ່ດົນດອກ ລາວກາສິສະຫວ່າງທົ່ວປະເທດດອກ. ຫລັງຈາກມີທືນຮອນ
    ແດ່ແລ້ວ.
