[Recording] A Decade of Reflection: US-Lao Relations and the Legacies of War After 2016

The year 2016 was a landmark year for the relationship between the United States of America and Lao P.D.R., with the creation of the U.S. - Laos Comprehensive Partnership and an historic visit by the sitting U.S. President Barack Obama to Lao PDR. That visit included public recognition of the secret war in Laos and a significant increase in funding and support to addressing the legacies of war, particularly unexploded ordnance. Join us for an in-depth discussion a decade on about the current state of the bilateral relationship and ongoing work to address the legacies of war.

This event is hosted by the War Legacies Working Group, a collection of organizations which forms partnerships throughout the United States and Southeast Asia to address issues related to unexploded ordnance, Agent Orange, mine clearance, and other legacies of war.
