Lao PM orders inspection of procedures at border crossings
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith has called for the formation of a taskforce to carry out checks at border crossings in a bid to facilitate cross-border trade and services, while plugging revenue leaks.
The premier issued the instruction as part of the government’s work plan for May, at the cabinet’s monthly meeting for April, which took place last week.
The taskforce will collect information and make recommendations to address issues that have caused problems at border crossings and resulted in the loss of government revenue.
