　　老挝入世经历了一个相当漫长的过程。老挝于1997年就申请加入世贸组织，2004年才启动相关谈判。15年来，老方就关税和市场准入等问题与有关成员进行了复杂艰难的谈判，满足了各方提出的上千项的要求。此外，老方还修改了《税法》、《企业法》、《知识产权法》等几十部法律法规，以适应WTO有关原则要求。

　　老挝加入世贸组织之后，必然要达到世贸组织对其成员国相应的开放标准，符合开放规则的运行，其中包括经济体制、建成市场经济国家等。这就要求老挝要实行市场经济，要实施相当的开放，其体制要符合国际惯例，实施的一系列贸易政策、投资政策、政府采购、知识产权、劳动保护等等，这些均要符合有关的、最基本的国际惯例，这样才有利于与整个世界接轨。老挝入世以后，在此基础上，与东盟其它九个成员国合作，能够更有利于东盟经济共同体建设。

　　中老两国山水相连，有着增进经贸合作的区位优势。中国与东盟十国已于2010年的1月1日建成了中国-东盟自由贸易区。中国与东盟，双方之间92%的产品贸易关税已经是零。这为双方企业的合作创造了极为有利的条件。老挝的入世，不仅仅会在中国-东盟自贸区的框架下给中国企业走进老挝带来很多机遇，而且还将会对中国东盟自贸区内部的区域经济一体化和贸易投资便利化提供有利的条件。
