Laos and Russia have signed a roadmap that could lead to plans for a first nuclear power plant in the landlocked southeast Asian country, reports in Russia said.

The two governments confirmed the roadmap and a number of other agreements during Lao president Thongloun Sisoulith’s visit to Moscow recently, the reports said.

“One of the agreements is a roadmap for cooperation in the nuclear sector between the Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom and the ministry of industry and trade of Laos,” Russian state news agency Tass reported, without giving further details.
