Since the establishment of the diplomatic ties, the friendly relations and cooperation between Laos and Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands and other member states of the European Union has been constantly developed both in bilateral and multilateral frameworks. This cooperation has been made through international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGO) as well as in the framework of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).
In recent years, Belgium has offered a number of funds and invaluable technical assistance to Laos for the implementation of projects in the fields of public health, clean water, education and training, public works and transport, social security and rural development.
