From today the KPL News English language newspaper has changed its name to Laos News. This blog will now refer to the Laos News. An editor’s note in the KPL News stated that on 6th January, the 43rd anniversary of its founding, the newspaper changes name to Laos News. According to the note, ‘In the coming years, the Laos News daily newspaper will do its utmost to improve and develop itself to meet new developments in the country’.
KPL started as the Lao revolutionary press in a cave in Viengsay northeast Laos, during the second Indo China war when Laos was under constant bombardment from US aircraft.
In a front page article celebrating the anniversary KPL is described as ‘a sharp weapon on the ideological and cultural front of the Party, State and people of Laos’.
In addition to producing its own articles Laos News runs International stories from China’s Xinhua and Russia’s Ria Novosti news agencies.
