Welcome to ANZBA Laos
The Australia New Zealand Business Association (ANZBA) was established, as the first foreign chamber of commerce in the Lao PDR, in September 2005. The ANZBA is a non-profit, unincorporated organization that brings together Australian and New Zealand businesses and individuals, in order to promote their mutual interests.
The ANZBA represents Australian and New Zealand business interests to government and non-government agencies, delivers a range of services to its members, and provides a forum for business and social networking between Australian and New Zealand business and their Lao and other counterparts in the Lao PDR.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the ANZBA website.
Whether you are a company or individual already operating in Laos, are considering doing business here, or are otherwise interested in business opportunities for Australian and New Zealand enterprises in Laos, I and my fellow-directors encourage you to be part of ANZBA. Laos has one of the highest growth rates in the world, is situated in the heart of a region of strong economic activity, and is committed to pursuing the wide range of economic opportunities that its location and resources make possible. It provides great opportunities for businesses who have know-how and a capacity to invest, and aspire to becoming part of the ‘Asian Century’.
For the past 20 years, Australian and New Zealand businesses have been successfully investing and operating here - notably in mining, mining supplies and services, banking, education and training, legal and business services, UXO clearance, and in many other capacities in the trade, commercial and information sectors. These companies and individuals have not only achieved business success; they have also been well regarded for the positive contributions they have made to the Lao economy, to the development of their Lao employees, to their support of government and community programs, and to their creation of business opportunities for Lao and foreign suppliers.
ANZBA is proud to have these businesses in its membership ranks, and seeks to service and represent all such companies and individuals in Laos.
This website introduces you to ANZBA’s Board of Directors and membership, informs you of the events and activities we undertake, and provides news that will be of interest to all our stakeholders. It also enables your comment on and participation in ANZBA and its affairs: I encourage you to engage actively in ANZBA, and to make your views and needs known to myself and other Board members.
Regards
Brennan Coleman.
