VIENTIANE (Xinhua): The value of goods sold by Laos to Thailand in January slumped compared to the same period in 2020, which has been attributed to restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In January 2020, Laos earned US$135 million from goods sold to Thailand but the figure fell to $89 million in January this year, according to the Lao Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
