Sa Bai Dee,
At the outset, I would like to express my warmest greetings to all of you in Lao language “Sa Bai Dee”, which means“Konnichiwa”and also“good health”in Japanese language.

On behalf of the Embassy of the Lao People’ s Democratic Republic, I am very pleased to welcome all of you to the Laos Festival 2024, at Yoyogi Park, Tokyo. The 10th Laos Festival this year in Japan is held in the Commemorative Year of the VISIT LAOS YEAR2024, and the 69th year of Laos-Japan Diplomatic Relations.

Laos and Japan have enjoyed the long-standing friendship and good cooperation. As the strategic partnership since 2015,the bilateral relationship has continuously maintained, deepened and widened in various areas. The Laos Festival is one of the biggest events of Laos in Japan, which has contributed to enhance the friendship, particularly in areas of people-to-people and cultural exchanges as well as to promote business opportunity and networking between the private sector of the two countries.

At the Laos Festival 2024, you will enjoy Lao cuisines and beverages, among others (unique taste of Lao beer named“Beer Lao”, coffee and tea), cultural dances, music, traditional experiences with Baci Ceremony and demonstrated Lao Rocket Festival“Boun Bung Fai”, a variety of ethnic costumes, attractive Lao handicraft products and so on. Please do not miss to experience the unique charms of Laos.
Taking this opportunity to make this event happened, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Japanese Government and people, and all Friends of Laos in Japan for invaluable supports and cooperation.

May I wish all of you a good health, happiness, prosperity and great success in all of your tasks.
Kob Jai Lai Lai (Arigatou gozaimashita).
