Lao New Year celebration to resume in 2023

The Prime Minister’s Office on Wednesday instructed the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, central government agencies and provincial government offices to ensure there will be enough food and general consumer goods to meet demand during the festival.
