AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

UXO and victim support in Laos: Laos says UXO clearance and assistance are ongoing across 13 provinces, with risk education, survey and clearance, victim support and information management at the core, as officials aim to keep annual casualties below a target of 38. Labour controls: Laos has suspended new work permits and labour hiring for Bangladeshi nationals through end-2026, citing illegal entry, human smuggling and unauthorised recruitment, with exemptions for priority projects. Cybercrime crackdown: Vietnam and Laos coordinated to dismantle a transnational online fraud ring in Bokeo, arresting 91 people and seizing computers and phones. Cross-border connectivity: The China-Laos Railway reported strong trade growth in the first eight months of 2026, with cargo volume and value up sharply, led by tropical fruit imports and fast-growing exports like solar panels and batteries. Satellite trial: GalaxySpace completed Laos’s first low-Earth-orbit satellite internet trial, supporting a live HD call during a Sept 15 demonstration. Regional diplomacy: Laos and Russia agreed a draft treaty to protect citizens’ rights under international law.
