The sub-committee that is drafting the law is studying the laws of other countries including Vietnam and Japan to see what areas might be incorporated into the Lao context of the new civil code.
So far, more than 90 laws have been enacted in Laos. The National Assembly plans to approve another 92 in the next five years to meet the goal of creating a state that is governed by the rule of law.
In addition, the Resolution of the 9th Party Congress stipulates the need to improve legislation and the rule of law in Laos to ensure that all economic sectors are indeed equal before the law and can actively contribute to expanding production capacity and compete in the process of international integration.
