Phase 6:

Japan, the US and a number of developed East Asian countries created infrastructure to help Laos modernize itself while preserving its diversified culture and heritage of the past. The reason for the modernization is due to the economy needing development since it was lacking at the time. Media freedom is one of the highest in the region and while healthcare is insufficient, American, Austrian and Japanese clinics were set up in response.

Like Japan, the neutralist government normally prohibited letting the military going into war but sometimes is necessary as it sends two separate troops to fight the Viet Minh and participate in Korean War since two of their close allies are fighting against its communist northern neighbors. The kingdoms of Cambodia and Thailand also supported that nation.

Laos developed very close relations with a number of countries around the world, including but not limited to:

-Its ASEAN neighbors (Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaya, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and the State of Vietnam)

-First-class countries such as Japan, China, South Korea, the United States and its close allies of the American continent, France, Benelux, Italy, West Germany, Kingdom of Greece and members of the Commonwealth of Nations. It also reiterated diplomatic relations with both Israel and Palestine.

-It also consolidated alliance with all the neutralist nations at the time, particularly Switzerland, Bhutan and Ethiopia.

The kingdom also strongly supported South Vietnam and South Korea during conflicts against its communist allies, hoping that they'll eventually reunify their northern neighbors peacefully in the future. These countries are very much supporting neoliberal movement in Egypt and support the liberation of Palestine.

At the same time given its neutralist policies, the Kingdom of Laos reluctantly starts negociating relations with USSR in condition that it'll let the impoverished monarchy do whatever it want if it means to support certain foreign movements to its own. At the same time, Laos wished one day that the world had to live under peace and democracy in accordance with the United Nations Charter.
