Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC) has recently approved a policy that plans to encourage and promote Lao overseas to go back to Laos. According to an anonymous Lao high-ranking official of this government agency, LFCN will send its representatives to Lao Consular Sections and Embassies in many countries to provide the correct information on this Lao government’s policy to avoid misunderstandings.
Hmong overseas in the US.
This newly adopted policy will address the wish of Lao people, who live in overseas, to come back to Laos to visit families, conduct merit activities and festivities, invest, operate business and to live permanently in Laos as well as the issues of gaining Lao citizenship under Lao laws. This policy is adopted because Lao government has learned from the experience of Vietnam, which has similar political and government system, and has successfully implemented this kind of policy for over ten years. However, Lao government foresees that it will take a longtime for Laos to successfully implement this policy as Laos still needs to put budget, human resources, laws and regulations in place.
Listen to Songrit's report for more details in Lao.
That is the attitude I like to hear. Sometime being here on this forum and reading what Laotian in Laos PDR wrote about Laotians overseas I can not help it I get the feeling of resentment. They resent that we escape from Laos. They accuse our parents of being corrupted and we are also guilty by association. They hate us because we say what we feel about the current government....NOT the people. I think their attitude is,,,,hey don't come back here we don't need or want you. the " We can do without you" attitude is so prevalence in the current crop of young Lao educators. But now the Laos government want us to come back.

My parents are colonel royal Lao military and fight side by side with American to against NeoLao communist for 30 years. He told me Do not go back visit Laos. do not trust Lao PDR.

Good for you! Listen to your parents and stay away from the Lao PDR.

Actually, this policy of encouragement was put forth by Chinese government many years ago. China had sent off at least 300,000 students to study in the West and simultaneously declared economic reform in 1978. The goal was to have these students return back to the motherland in the 80s after they all acquired skill in various fields, but the fate had befallen the Communist China when a violent protest took place in Tiananmen square— 1989. It was totally a complete loss of hope for the Chinese leadership because none of those students were willing to go home after the incident. Many were filled with anger, shock, and dismay seeing their compatriots being slaughtered by their own liberation army whom they always called uncle PLA—
In the 90s President Jiang Ze Min enacted a new policy to convince the oversea Chinese especially students to come home by allowing a dual citizenship, and generous loans for those who wanted to set up businesses. The policy of facilitating and accommodating students had somewhat succeeded in which over 100,000 of them actually returned.
I have no doubt lots of Lao foreigners(Lao Nork) presumably would not want to gain Lao citizen and stay in Laos any more as they now enjoy civilization in western countries. They are proud to be western countries' citizen like someone in this forum.
However, some would want to visit Laos to see their relatives in Laos, I guess.
i think it's a good idea. This can help laos to develop, bring ressources to Laos, and it would be a great story if people who had to run away their country can now come back in good conditions.
Anyway, i see 2 points, 2 difficulties. - this can bring a sort of "cultural shock", as many lao living overseas integrated a lot into "western society", and many of them have now a "western mind". Laos remain more traditional and kept it's specific culture... It can be especialy diffilcult for the youngest (teenagers, children), to understand, accept and respect lao culture if they go to live in Laos (let's imagine their parents decided to come back to Laos and bring the children/teenagers with them). Lao government will have to plan special accompaniement for them.
- Many lao people living overseas are now just "lao originated"...I mean that they have now the nationality of the country where they live. In fact, in their eart and in their mind, they feel "bi-cultural", they feel and they live as a mix of" lao and american" or "lao and french" and so on. They just choosed to adopt the nationality of the country where they live just because it was more convenient and maybe they did't imagined they could go back to Laos one day. Their new nationality is now part of themselves. But if Laos want they to come back, Laos will have to give them back laos nationality, but more, Laos will have to recognize and accept officlay "double nationality", as many countr in the world do. They cannot decently ask people to forget a so big part of their history, of themselves. Time of war and anger is over. If a person is bi-cultural in his mind/heart, his/her official status should represent this. So I hope Laos can accept double nationality soon and don't force people to choose only one nationality and officialy reject a part of themselves they cannot humanly reject.
Laotians in Laos need to stop hating Laotian oversea first.
what had happent in the past please do not stuck with it, we are the same Lao Nation, no anyone care you are Lao Nork or Lao Nai, when i saw news that LAO nation won something i feel happy with the news, i don't like the Lao Nok and Lao Nai word which split Laos people. please remind your mind that we born from the same nation. Lao won't Love lao who will love us? Lao blame Lao who won't blameus?. even you guys are living in aboard please try your best overthere just don't trust anyoneuntill you confirm it by your eyes. time is passing, lot of things are changing, don't struck with the old memory. 30 years later people is getting old, new generation is moving, they are leaning and grow up and one day Lao will be in their hand.
LPDR need more time and resource to re-open and refurbish the Re-Education School System in Viengxay and Xiang Khuang for the returnees. The cooler northern climate is a perfect fit for them as it is similar to some Western countries.

A lots of young, talent laotianes over sea awaiting for the right time to go back to help and built their mother land. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Please put this policy in active if you are truely love LAOS. Set the politic aside don't worry about that stuff that is out ofdate LA SA MAY .
For me as a Lao oversea I see Laotian Government always changing there mind back and forth I dont think most Laotian in the USA trust Laotian Gov. that much. Because of this you see alot of things they fail but then back lash the issue that never happen! I say the Lao government need educated and abit more democracy in some lao communist system.

I don't think Lao Government is forcing anyone to go live in Laos against their will. The Lao Government are merely proposing a change in its law to accomodates some Lao Expatriates that wishes to come back to Laos and contribute to the advancement of the Lao Fatherland.

I thnk we need to stop pointing fingers. We obviously don't like fingers being pointed at us or Lao overseas, I don't see why we should start it. (I originally had "you" instead of "we", but replaced it and it sounds so much nicer!)
And this can be said about anyone or anything. Think of the Middle way.
Criticizing the government is healthy. It shows people care. People should always criticize their government, or else one day they can stomp all over the people and who knows what will happen. If its a government by and for the people, then the people should criticize it freely and safely.

Zak, it is safe to criticize in this website. But, I wouldn't suggest you to do so while you're in Laos. Unless, you're plan to stay in Laos forever. By forever means you'll be gone with the wind.
