He will be able to do it if he allows all of Laotian every on earth helping him but I doubt it if only him try to do it alone so it's just another broken promise to the poor Lao people to keep on dreaming.

The Lao President has invited your president to pay a visit to Laos
when it is convenient for him. We hope to have an opportunity to
welcome your president and his delegation,� Mr Bouasone told the
Korean reporters.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully south Korea president will not script visiting Laos when his next tour in southeast Asia. As we know the United states has a lot of influence in south Korea if the United states will give the advice for south Korean president to visit Laos or not because south Korea still receiving aid money and military protection from the US every year even south Korea doesn't really need the aid money. Unless Lao government stop supporting north Korea the nuclear and missiles program and Iran nuclear program that are also the reasons that WTO look at that issue with the human being right issue very carefully.

The government of laos can't do too much to help North korean
and the Iran except for expressing a moral support. Financially,
militarily..I think not.

What aid money???

"During the mid-1960s, South Korea's economy grew so rapidly that the United States decided to phase out its aid program to Seoul. South Korea became increasingly integrated into the international capital market; from the late 1960s to the mid- 1980s, development was financed with a series of foreign loans, two-thirds of which came from private banks and suppliers' credits. Total external debt grew to a high of US$46.7 billion in 1985. Positive trade balances in the late 1980s led to a rapid decline in foreign debt--from US$35.6 billion in 1987 to an expected US$23 billion by 1991. Account surpluses in 1990 were expected to enable Seoul to reduce its foreign debt from its 1987 level of about 28 percent of GNP to about l0 percent by 1991."

The differences between Korea and Laos. Korea, while under the Japanese Occupation, Korea was already industrialized. Even though the Japanese owned and operated majority of the factories and businesses but the infrastructures and knowledges was later passed on to the Korean after the World War II.

Laos on the other hand, was badly neglected by the French Colonial Government. While Cambodia and Vietnam was the French Indochina's centerpieces. The French Colonial Government developed Cambodia and Vietnam to process and extract raw materials for France. Hence, when the French were given the boots, those infrastructures became vital for Khmer and Vietnamese reconstruction and rebuilding efforts.

http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-12232.html

The Korean economy also underwent significant change. Japan's initial colonial policy was to increase agricultural production in Korea to meet Japan's growing need for rice. Japan had also begun to build large-scale industries in Korea in the 1930s as part of the empire-wide program of economic self-sufficiency and war preparation. Between 1939 and 1941, the manufacturing sector represented 29 percent of Korea's total economic production. The primary industries--agriculture, fishing, and forestry--occupied only 49.6 percent of total economic production during that period, in contrast to having provided 84.6 percent of total production between 1910 and 1912.

The economic development taking place under Japanese rule, however, brought little benefit to the Koreans. Virtually all industries were owned either by Japan-based corporations or by Japanese corporations in Korea (see The Japanese Role in Korea's Economic Development , ch. 3). As of 1942, Korean capital constituted only 1.5 percent of the total capital invested in Korean industries. Korean entrepreneurs were charged interest rates 25 percent higher than their Japanese counterparts, so it was difficult for Korean enterprises to emerge. More and more farmland was taken over by the Japanese, and an increasing proportion of Korean farmers either became sharecroppers or migrated to Japan or Manchuria. As greater quantities of Korean rice were exported to Japan, per capita consumption of rice among the Koreans declined; between 1932 and 1936, per capita consumption of rice declined to half the level consumed between 1912 and 1916. Although the government imported coarse grains from Manchuria to augment the Korean food supply, per capita consumption of food grains in 1944 was 35 percent below that of 1912 to 1916.

Then what 's happen to north Korea why are things so different between north Korea and south Korea ? If your claim is the truth ,why north Korean people are starved to death? So it have to do with the good leaders , the good government , good system and good diplomatic relationship and foreign policy. Also how 's about Singapore after gained the independent from Malaysia only few decades Singapore became the most modern and richest country in Asia. Singapore did not have any thing to start with but good leader and good government who invest heavily in education and trained her citizen to become skill and well educated people .

South Korea was completely destroyed and broke and people were starved by war . Only few decades why are so different bewteen north Korea and south Korea ? So it must be the good leader and good government and good system .

Here are some trivia questions:
1. Do you know that the south korean president automatically donates his monthly income to the social welfare department, that is because he is already rich before becoming the country's leader, thus no longer have the need for money?
2. Do you know that S. Korean government is too concerned with financial transparency and tax collection so that each korean should keep all their receipts for all types of transaction and submit them to the office of the internal revenue? This way koreans can receive an income tax return commensurate to their expenses and no. Of family members. This also allows the govt to monitor and run after tax evaders.
3. Do you know that the s. Korean motto is to move fast, do the task now and not to be lazy? They are so output oriented and always quick on their feet when something needs to get done.

Now do these answer your question why s. Korean progressed within a decade?
Lao su su!

There are lot of American aid to south Korea . The United States rebuilt south Korea after the Korean war and gave south Korea billions and billions dollars in aid, not loans just like rebuilt Japan and Germany after the world war ll . The United States give the aid to all NATO countries and the countries which allow the United state have the military base in their countries such as Thailand , Philippines, south Korea, Israel, Egypt, Turkey...etc. Those country are not going to tell you or any one and to give the information in the computer for you read but there are in the US foreign aid budget and also you could only know by the US media while the budget need to be approved by the congress. South Korea is successful by private companies not by the government own business. That loans from the world bank which are also controlled by the American. A lot of countries take the loans and also get the aid from the American but still are not successful like south Korea. So you could see the different between south Korea and north Korea . It have to do with the good leader , good government , good system, good education system in the country , good foreign policy , good diplomatic relationship . There are no miracle but hard work . Every thing south Korea has , they earn them. The south Korean people work hard and the kids study hard .

It is going to happen in 2010 .There will be new china town , Vietnamese town, Vietnamese 5 starts luxury hotel and beautiful course golf , fancy Chinese casinos but no better education system and more new schools, modern equipment and advanced technology and hospital and still will be lack of medicine and vaccine , still a lot of Lao kids still not well educated, still not enough skill workers .The majority Laotian are low educated and the future of the majority of Lao people are just farmers and street none skill workers. New tall building , China town and Vietnamese town and a lot of beautiful house and business are all owned by Chinese and Vietnamese and foreigner which will not solve the slum city and uneducated poor Lao kid . The modern tall and new build and shopping mall and hotel and most of business will have very little benefit for Lao people . The poor local Lao people will be living in the slum city and underdevelopment remote area and country side are still poor, low educated , low class and second class citizen. That you could learn from the Philippines are more developed than Laos and is still not out of from poverty or other countries as well, So in 10 years that Laos will be out of poverty and I doubt it that just is another broken promise as usual that the government have been told the poor people for 3 decades.

Laos is lagging behind everyone else. Where's all the development and business in Laos??? Laos did say 8 years ago that they will try to promote investor and business into Laos. But where is that business at? where the development???? This is more like a all talk show nothing is done right or will it ever will be again. Laos Gov is too slow to do anything, which is also embarrassing.

Why ask for more aids of loan. Why not negotiate for an investment or a joint venture. Im sure if Lao will be able to present a good proposal SK will at least take it into consideration. Its about time to make a paradigm shift, to explore new ways not only ask for more loans or aids.

Almost every projects and programs have already been failed because lack of the skill workers and professional personnel to manage the money and the fund. The elderly high rank government officials who have never been successfully managing the money and running the business , have always been failing in every projects for many decades and continuing to fail . They have been making the same mistakes over again and again until the foreign bank , the world bank and also the other foreign investors don't have the good confident in the government . There are also too much of the corruptions . There are a lot of foreign companies and business which are both big and small who hate to bribe the government officials .

Laos Government should just accept Lao people oversea. Why not work with international for the better of our people? It already show for the last 30+ years nothing in Laos haven't change one bit. And why close the Lao people mouth, when there government is failing in many sector in business? Why keep on turning away from the Lao people when they needed leadership to do the job? Nothing is being down, and Laos need to do something now before other opportunity doing business and investment will be heading towards Cambodia or Vietnam instead of Laos.

Laotian over sea are always welcome to open business in Laos but don't try to run the country and get involve in any politic and shut your month and eyes and cover your hears and see no evil and hear no evil then you will be fine.

_____________

The question is who are these economic advisers? Lao, Thai, Viets, Chinese?
From the news you will already have an idea who is leading the band.

"Laotian over sea are always welcome to open business in Laos but don't try to run the country and get involve in any politic"

On this line of thinking, I wonder if there are any one who can comply with this especially if the potential Lao investors are educated and trained in the west. Dont you know that in anything, there is always politics involved? You can't get away from politics especially if the persons you are dealing with are politicians themselves. For a businessman to be successful he needs to learn to play with politics in all aspects. Dont you realized that even dealing with families and relatives there is politics?

That is the most ridiculous and uneducated responds ever! But tell me this, In the past 30+ years or so. Why isn't there been any business success in Laos or sometime during that time frame is shorten or turn away so many times from foreign country?

Does Laos have any business minded people in Laos to do the business within the country? or are those educated Lao citizen who goes to other country to study in a higher education standard find them self moving out of Laos, and business else where?

Even I can think of at least on business success in Laos. Is Beer Lao successful or not?

Date: Feb 18, 2010

BeerLao that 's it. How many can of beer That Lao sell a day. Chinese drink more coke .

Coca-Cola Co. has "arguably the strongest and most pervasive marketing and distribution system in the world," Chairman Douglas Daft told investors at the annual shareholder meeting in April. And it does. The Coke empire stretches to more parts of the globe than any other enterprise in the world. The soda is served in more than 200 nations; it's easier to list the markets where Coke isn't:Myanmar, Cuba, Iraq and Syria. Everywhere else--including such tricky markets as Pakistan, Cambodia, Liberia, Zimbabwe and Colombia--Coke is a beloved consumer staple. Nine million stores sell Coke, serving up some 1.2 billion servings a day around the world.That's why overseas sales account for two-thirds of Coke's revenue (expected to total $21 billion this year) and three-quarters of operating income (forecast at $5.8 billion total) and over 90% of the giant brand's profit growth. After a rough patch from 1998 to 2001 Coke is back. In the first nine months of this year Coke has reported a robust 4% rise in volume (the most-watched indicator of the company's health), a 6% increase in revenue and a 12% rise in net income--numbers as good as any Coke has posted since 1997.

The soda is served in more than 200 nations; it's easier to list the markets where Coke isn't:Myanmar, Cuba, Iraq and Syria. Everywhere else--including such tricky markets as Pakistan, Cambodia, Liberia, Zimbabwe and Colombia--Coke is a beloved consumer staple. Nine million stores sell Coke, serving up some 1.2 billion servings a day around the world.That's why overseas sales account for two-thirds of Coke's revenue (expected to total $21 billion this year) and three-quarters of operating income (forecast at $5.8 billion total) and over 90% of the giant brand's profit growth. After a rough patch from 1998 to 2001 Coke is back. In the first nine months of this year Coke has reported a robust 4% rise in volume (the most-watched indicator of the company's health), a 6% increase in revenue and a 12% rise in net income--numbers as good as any Coke has posted since 1997.

Sorry BeerLao could not be produced that much per day.

Laos Government should just accept Lao people oversea. Why not work with international for the better of our people? It already show for the last 30+ years nothing in Laos haven't change one bit. And why close the Lao people mouth, when there government is failing in many sector in business? Why keep on turning away from the Lao people when they needed leadership to do the job? Nothing is being down, and Laos need to do something now before other opportunity doing business and investment will be heading towards Cambodia or Vietnam instead of Laos.
Laotian over sea are always welcome to open business in Laos but don't try to run the country and get involve in any politic and shut your month and eyes and cover your hears and see no evil and hear no evil then you will be fine. The government will make all the decisions and guide you to the right directions and don't try to be wise man and create problems in Laos and the government like to keep it this way. Just shut up and do your works and follow the order.
That is the most ridiculous and uneducated responds ever! But tell me this, In the past 30+ years or so. Why isn't there been any business success in Laos or sometime during that time frame is shorten or turn away so many times from foreign country?Does Laos have any business minded people in Laos to do the business within the country? or are those educated Lao citizen who goes to other country to study in a higher education standard find them self moving out of Laos, and business else where?
"People that think like you, will not have any future. But end up digging in deeper to his/her own grave and die alone with no one to care, but have forgotten about you're existence."
Even I can think of at least on business success in Laos. Is Beer Lao successful or not?

Yes , Hydro power dams.

Why not think about other business to be one of the competitor in the market? Like producing "instant noodles" with added Lao unique noodles texture, and flavor. :) This also create jobs for LaoNai, instead of setting around doing nothing. =)

So the people in Laos are voiceless and fear to speak the truth and complain so this is only way to give their opinions that the Lao government have done for the Lao people and the country.

If you don't like the performance of this Prime Minister, then next time vote someone else in that you think will perform better.

I wish all the Lao people and the whole nation could do just that and have the right to vote for their leaders who are really capable to dig Laos out of from the deep hole that the government have been digging Lao people in for many decades.

Business leaders don't necessary make good political leaders. If Thaksin was so good, then how come he let them boot him out of office?

Thaksin won't be able to solve the Lao economy problems . What Thaksin has done for Cambodia absolutely nothing. So what do you think Thaksin would be able to help Lao Economy ? Laos need to change the system and diplomatic and foreign policy withe the world community specially with WTO . So the foreign investors will have the confidence in the Lao government. So Lao government must comply with the WTO demands about the corruptions, implement and the human being right and become the member of WTO.
