Laos

Diplomatic relations between Poland and Laos were established in 1962.

Political cooperation

In recent years political contacts with Laos has been limited to multilteral meeitngs. In November 2012, during the ASEM Summit in Vientiane Poland was represented by the Prime Minister D. Tusk. In July 2016 Prime Minister B. Szydło has met her counterpart, Prime Minister of Laos T. Sisoulith in Ulan Bator, during the XI ASEM Summit.    

Economic cooperation

Economic cooperation with Laos is currently limited to trade exchange with a negative trade balance. Thanks to its location and EU membership Poland is one of the most attractive locations for foreign investments. Poland offers a wide range of investment incentives. There are 14 Special Economic Zones (SEZ) with favourable conditions like tax holidays, attractive tax exemptions, employment incentives as well as well-prepared investment lots. International reports highlight economic and political stability of Poland, educated and competent human capital and a large domestic market.   Investors look at Poland’s 38-million strong consumer market also as a gateway to other EU markets and countries like Belarus, Russia or Ukraine. Poland’s central geographic  location in Europe, where the main communication routes intersect, connects north and south and eats with west of the continent and makes it possible to export goods to all European countries and thus reach over 500 million consumers via well connected networks of railways, motorways or over the air.
