Ambassador Li Chenggang attended the press conference for Lao PDR’s participation in the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) and ITA Expansion on 2 December, 2021, and congratulated on Lao PDR’s joining the two Agreements as the first least developed member.

He encouraged more least developed members to join the ITA and ITA II.

He said that Lao PDR would make the utmost effort to fully and effectively implement all commitments to these agreements and invited all WTO members to invest in the ICT sector in Lao PDR.
