Igor Krasnov has arrived in Vientiane as part of his Southeast Asian tour
Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov arrived in Laos on Tuesday evening to discuss enhanced cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
The two countries have maintained close ties since Soviet times, with Moscow historically supplying Laos with weapons and technology.
During his visit, Krasnov is scheduled to meet with his Laotian counterpart, Xaysana Khotphouthone, as well as other officials and the Russian Ambassador to Vientiane, Vladimir Kalinin.
The parties are expected to sign a roadmap for future cooperation.
Khotphouthone previously met with Krasnov during his visit to Russia in September 2024, where they discussed establishing a legal framework to facilitate free education for Laotian nationals at Russia's Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok.
As part of his Southeast Asian tour, Krasnov also traveled to Cambodia on Tuesday.
There, he met with King Norodom Sihamoni and signed partnership agreements with the Justice Ministry and the Prosecutor General's Office. Krasnov stated, "These documents will enable us to collaborate on a mutually beneficial basis, including the exchange of expertise and joint research and educational projects."
During his visit to Phnom Penh, Krasnov emphasized that the countries will work together to combat terrorism, corruption, and organized crime.
