Announcement
The Editorial Board of Vientiane Times wishes to inform all valued subscribers, readers and partners that following the severe storm and strong winds yesterday, a large tree fell onto electricity lines, impacting an electricity transformer supplying power to the printing house and temporarily disrupting printing operations.
We are pleased to inform our clients that electricity supply has now been restored and the printing house has resumed operations. Today’s edition of Vientiane Times is currently being printed and distribution will proceed accordingly.
However, due to the earlier disruption, newspaper delivery and distribution may be delayed in some areas.
