Our relationship with Laos
New Zealand’s relationship with the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is limited but friendly. Following the Viet Nam War, this neighbouring landlocked nation earned the unenviable reputation as the most heavily bombed country per capita in the world. The UN also classifies it as one of the world's least developed countries.
Laos has been a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1997 and New Zealand’s engagement with Laos through ASEAN-related fora is warm, and the main source of our political-level engagements.
