Raw: Laos Welcomes President Obama

(6 Sep 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4053868
President Barack Obama on Monday became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot in the isolated Southeast Asian nation of Laos, opening a three-day visit meant to rebuild trust and close a dark chapter in the shared history between the two countries.
Obama is one of several world leaders coming to the country of nearly 7 million people, where the one-party communist state tightly controls public expression but is using its moment in the spotlight as host of the annual meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to open up to outsiders.

They dont hve flag of amerika just only a respect for obama visit, laos will never be an ally of US,

[@coffeelink943]

They will never will be, Laos hates Vietnam and US is close with Vietnam now. They still blame Vietnam for this country being bombed by them and blame illegal Vietnamese soldiers cross their boarders
