	25 October 1998
		Like in other developing countries the world over, despite the financial difficulties that the country is facing, the Lao Government has sought every means to upgrade the socio-economic situation of its population and in particular the minority groups living in remote or far-reaching areas.
		In order to translate this goal into reality, the Lao authorities have identified one of the most secluded and hard to access areas which is located at the intersection of three provinces namely Vientiane, Xiengkhouang and Borikhamsay.
		The people living there and those who have come to settle in the special zone have the right to freely go in and out as they wish and there is no restriction whatsoever to the freedom of movement and residence nor any impediment to the operation of business activities in the said area.
