Back on November 11, 2021, the UN Economic and Social Council's Committee for Development Policy, recommended that the Lao PDR graduate from the least developed country (LDC) category.  This would be seen as an incredible milestone in Laos' development since the country's modern inception in 1975 when it became a republic.
