VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): Construction of Latsavong Plaza, which houses a five-star shopping mall and a hotel and is said to be the tallest building in Laos, is to resume after the contractor ran into financial difficulties in 2016 and work came to a halt.
Director General of the Department of Economy, Ministry of National Defence, Colonel Siphonexay Khamthongveun, said Latsavong Plaza was a business partnership between the Ministry of National Defence and a Chinese company, for which a contract was signed and construction began in late 2013.
