The Party, government and all Lao people united in one spirit to share in a grand gathering on the morning of December 2 at the That Luang esplanade in Vientiane to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Lao PDR (December 2, 1975 to December 2, 2025) with events of historical, political and cultural significance. The most spectacular of these was a series of grandiose parades celebrating Laos’ National Day and marking this historic milestone by symbolising the enduring peace, stability and progress of the Lao PDR under the Party’s leadership since the revolutionary triumph in 1975.
