The 12th High Level Round Table Meeting in Vientiane was attended by more than 300 delegates from the Government, development partners, international organisations, civil society, and the private sector.

H.E. Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong opened the Meeting:

“In the years to come, we’ll focus all our efforts on the implementation of the 8th five-year National Socio-Economic Development Plan to 2020. We’ll determine clear measures, in a clear action plan, to achieve development in the economic, socio-cultural and environmental spheres.”

She highlighted the importance of inclusive growth for human development, and stressed the need to address persisting development challenges under the new agenda:
