The
Lao People’s Democratic Republic calls for conjugate efforts to give
a new impulse to the construction of an information society. The development
of the information society is a complex process, because it is not only
limited to infrastructures, but also to questions related with contents,
services, lawful questions, control, safety and ethics. Lao has given
a great importance to the application of ITCs in economy and education
sectors. It is working with its action plan, until 2020, in order to
eradicate poverty. It wants to apply the ICTs to the sphere of production to
speed up the economic and social development. The development of an
information society needs the accomplishment of joint efforts between the
public and private sectors, partnerships, analysis of local potentialities,
exchange of information and international cooperation.
