Editorial: President Obama’s Historic Visit to Laos Comes At the Perfect Time

In early September 2016, President Barack Obama will be the first U.S. President to visit Laos. The President is expected to offer a few aid packages, including funds to clear unexploded ordnance (UXO) in Laos. His visit to Laos will permanently close a final chapter of the US-led Secret War in Laos during the 1960’s and 1970’s and help open a new chapter in US-Laos bilateral relations in years to come. It also gives new hope and more opportunity to the more than 300,000 Hmong and 269,000 Laotian Americans to reconnect with their former homeland.
