Laos, Thailand Prepare for Launch of 5th Friendship Bridge in Late December

The two countries are on discussing the framework (Photo: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand)

Laos and Thailand are gearing up for the official launch of the 5th Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge on 25 December, marking a new milestone in cross-border cooperation between the two neighbors.

Over 1,600 New HIV Cases Reported in Laos in First Nine Months of 2025

Over 1,600 people in Laos contracted HIV in the first nine months of 2025, with young people aged 15 to 29 accounting for over half of the new cases. This photo is used for representational purposed only.

HIV continues its steady, often unseen spread across Laos, where 1,617 people were newly infected in the first nine months of 2025. 

Despite years of efforts to expand testing and treatment, the virus remains entrenched in communities nationwide, hitting young people the hardest, with those aged 15 to 29 accounting for half of all new cases.

The Center for HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections reported the figures on 1 December, showing that new infections remain persistently high despite ongoing efforts to expand testing and treatment nationwide. At least 94 people have died from HIV-related illnesses so far this year.

The virus attacks the immune system and, if left untreated, can progress to AIDS, the most severe stage of the infection. With early testing and access to medication, however, it is possible to live full and healthy lives.

Young people aged 15 to 29 remain the most affected group, making up 53 percent of newly reported cases, according to the national HIV center. This continues a concerning pattern of vulnerability among younger populations. However, the share is lower than in 2023, when youth accounted for more than 80 percent of new HIV cases.

Currently, 21,363 people are living with HIV in Laos. Of these, 14,314 receive antiretroviral therapy to manage the infection. The disease has claimed more than 6,000 lives since the country’s first record case in 1990. 

Health authorities now operate 196 HIV testing and treatment service sites across central, provincial, district, and local health facilities, providing testing, counseling, and treatment services throughout the country.

While antiretroviral therapy has significantly reduced deaths from HIV-related illnesses, the epidemic continues to challenge the nation’s health system. Health authorities emphasize that prevention, early testing, and timely treatment remain critical to controlling the spread of HIV. 

However, stigma and fear still prevent some people from seeking care, and economic challenges limit access to preventive medicines in certain areas despite the expansion of testing and treatment sites.

Each year on 1 December, World AIDS Day, Laos joins the global community. This year, under the theme “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response,” the country called on everyone to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

From 20 November to 4 January, IPC is transformed into a sanctuary of festive warmth, dedicated to bringing the magic of the season to life through a truly unique Scandinavian-inspired experience. The Concourse set-up will immerse visitors in a charming Swedish Winter Market, where the aesthetics of authentic wooden houses, rustic textures, and warm, warm lighting evoke an enchanting Scandinavian charm.

Central to this festive installation is the iconic Dala Horse, taking on a bigger role as Santa’s reindeer, carrying festive cheer to create a dream Christmas for all. The magical atmosphere is further brought to life through intricate details such as the placement of Tomte figurines and other Nordic elements throughout the concourse.

Guests are also invited to engage with a variety of curated interactive spaces, including the bustling marketplace, creative craft corner, and beautifully designed photo-worthy spots, all intended to foster a magical Christmas for every individual and family.

Festive Entertainment & Engaging Workshops
The magical experience extends beyond the festive set-ups with a line-up of performances on selected dates at the Concourse at Level G. Themed musical acts, including bagpipes & drums, acapella carolling, and brass ensemble performances will fill the shopping centre with holiday warmth.

IPC’s beloved mascots, Tomte and Swedish Maiden, will also greet visitors during their walkabouts, offering delightful, impromptu “gifts” of joy and photo-worthy encounters.

Children registered under IPC’s Små Club can participate in complimentary craft workshops by pre-registering via the IPC App. These sessions include creating festive ornaments, decorating gingerbread house bags, assembling New Year’s Celebration Crackers, and crafting 2026 Wand Streamers, all designed to inspire creativity and family bonding, proving that some of the best kinds of just-right gifts are moments spent together.

This year, IPC’s Christmas setup continues its mindful practices by incorporating reusable and recyclable elements throughout the festive décor. Many structures are crafted from untreated wood, while decorative pieces are either reused or thoughtfully designed to be reused and repurposed. After the campaign, IPC will work closely with its partner to responsibly collect and recycle materials, ensuring a celebration that is both joyful and environmentally considerate.

It’s about thoughtfulness and finding that special something, be it a practical item, a beautiful object, a shared meal, a moment of laughter, or even a simple stroll around the Christmas Marketplace that brightens their day. This year, our ‘Once Upon A Christmas Dream’ celebration is designed to help every visitor discover what feels meaningful to them.”
