POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PERSPECTIVES
OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN LAOS

By Sin Vilay, PhD in Economics

Excerpt from Dr. Sin's remarks before presenting his paper at the
Economic Symposium on Laos 2005:
"... we need to be professional, balanced, and objective in our
approach."

"While we need to avoid rhetoric that is driven by our individual
or group political inclination, we should not shy from cold hard
conclusions based on cold hard facts and analysis, regardless of
the political sensitivities.  It would be also useful if we could be
clear-cut in our views rather than hedging them."
