Asia Insight - Season 1 - Eps 19: The Greater Mekong Subregion: The Rising Potential of Laos
In the Greater Mekong Subregion, the bordering countries of China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Myanmar are working hard to stimulate and increase trade. Asia Insight will devote three episodes to measures implemented by nations as they battle for economic control. This second episode focuses on Laos, a lowly populated, agricultural nation landlocked by five other countries. We look at how the country is going through a rapid transformation as it becomes more developed with increasing foreign investment and government initiatives.
