Vientiane (VNA) – Laos and Luxembourg have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on technical cooperation in the fields of international law, law enforcement and international human rights law.
The MoU was reached between the Convention and Law Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Laos, the Luxembourg Agency for Development Cooperation (LuxDev) and the Institute for Legal Support and Technical Assistance (ILSTA) of Luxembourg.
