U.S. Business Mission to Laos The American Chambers of Commerce in Southeast Asia, the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Commercial Service have organized a business mission, co-hosted by the Lao National Chamber of Commerce, to visit Vientiane from March 11-13. The business mission will attend a presentation on investing in Laos by the Committee for Planning and Investment and the Lao National Chamber of Commerce at the Lao Plaza hotel on March 12 at 11:00.
The mission, headed by Gary Newman, Managing Director of Citibank, is composed of 12 U.S. companies both large and small representing multiple industry sectors. The purpose of the mission is to raise the commercial profile of Laos with the U.S. business community in Asia as well as to introduce potential commercial opportunities in Laos to American companies. Each individual company has its own objectives; some are currently doing business in Laos and others are looking at longer-term possibilities.
We believe the mission will lay the foundation for expanded cooperation and exchange between the Lao and U.S. business communities.
U.S. companies representatived include 3M, Citibank, Green World Solutions, RM Asia Laos/ Lao Ford City, Lim Advisors, Monsanto, Mustang Technologies, Pacific Healthcare, Rabco, Pacific Marketing and Entertainment Group, and Schneider.
