His Excellency Khamtay Siphandone was a pivotal figure in Laos’ development during a period of significant change. He also visited Japan as Prime Minister, further strengthening the bonds between our two nations.
I am certain that the grief felt by the Lao Government and people, who held him in the highest regard, is beyond words.
Once again, I offer my heartfelt condolences on the loss of His Excellency Khamtay Siphandone, whose lifelong contributions were instrumental in shaping the nation. May his soul rest in peace."
