Australia increases aid for Covid-19 recovery


THE Australian government has increased its bilateral development assistance to Laos by almost 25% this year, providing an additional A$4.8mil (RM13.9mil) to help mitigate the economic, social and health impacts of the pandemic.

The new assistance will support the Lao government to strengthen health systems, build the foundations for economic recovery, and protect the most vulnerable people.
