Notice
International Women’s Day falls on Sunday March 8. This means that Monday March 9 will be designated as a public holiday in compensation, so there will be no issue of the Vientiane Times on that day. The next issue will be published on Tuesday March 10.
The Board of Directors and staff wish all our readers and customers a very happy and enjoyable International Women’s Day and hope that women are celebrated for their invaluable contributions to family and society. |
