Laos, officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR or LPDR), is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. At the heart of the Indochinese Peninsula, Laos is bordered by Myanmar and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the southeast, and Thailand to the west and southwest. Its capital and largest city is Vientiane.[1] The Embassy of Laos in London is the diplomatic mission of Laos in the United Kingdom.[2] It has opened in 2014 after a 29-years gap.[3]

Role[edit]

The embassy provides consular services, such as visa applications and passport renewals, as well as promoting cultural and economic relations between Laos and the UK.
