Lao Officials Promote Environmental Protection at Mining Projects
During a recent cabinet meeting, the government said it encouraged mining exploration by licensed mining companies to promote excavation and revenue derived from mineral exports. From 2021 to 2025, Laos is expected to produce mineral products valued at USD 7.832 billion, increasing by four percent from the previous five years. At the same time, the country wants to ensure that mining companies operate in accordance with environmental regulations.
