Vientiane, Laos - Laos' newly appointed prime minister has come to office with a pledge to improve the way the communist government works, state media reports said Friday.
In a surprise development, the National Assembly on Thursday evening approved the appointment of Thongsing Thammavong to replace former prime minister Bouasone Bouphavanh, who tendered his resignation earlier the same day due to 'family issues.'
'I will improve the way the government works to ensure state activities are timely, transparent, united and harmonious and create favorable conditions for the Lao people to earn a living based on the law,' Thongsing told the assembly, the Vientiane Times reported.
