Seizing power on August 23, 1975,

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Remembering “August 23rd” [1945] – and the Seizing of Power! (24.8.2025)

The day of seizing power on August 23, 1975 is of great significance to the entire Lao people, because such a victory is the fruit of the protracted Revolutionary struggle of the Lao people and the tribes under the leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party; It is the result of the ingenious courage of the use of the 3-step strategy to seize and hold power in the whole country without being overwhelmed, the victory of the correct Revolutionary line and the wise leadership of the Party, which knows how to creatively incorporate Marxism-Leninism into the actual behavior of the Revolution; It is the victory of the strength of unity, the unity of the whole nation, the unity of the army and the tribal people, the victory of the solidarity of the fighting alliance between the Lao people, the Vietnamese people and the Cambodian people who have stood shoulder to shoulder against the same enemy throughout the previous National Liberation Revolution, that is, in the mission of preserving and building the present nation.

Mr. Sayadeth Phouyavong further emphasized: “To continue the mission of safeguarding and developing the nation, as well as leading the Lao people along the path to socialism, we must unite in the face of current economic and financial challenges. Party members, civil servants, the armed forces, and the multi-ethnic people of Laos must continue to support and trust the Party’s clear-sighted leadership. We must enhance our proactive role in implementing the two national agendas, particularly Resolution 04 of the Party Central Committee, which focuses on building an independent and self-reliant economy in the new era. Our goal is to strengthen the people’s democratic state, ensuring the people’s prosperity and happiness, and building a just and prosperous society.”
