Laos cease fire progress stymied by stalled talks and rebel ties
Top members of the International Control Commission planned to fly to the rebel HQ at Xieng Khouang to verify the shaky Laotian cease-fire before the Geneva talks. Samar Sen of India and colleagues aimed to help a formula to restart arms talks. Despite repeated declarations, negotiations for a permanent armistice and coalition government faltered over meeting locations. The United States and Britain demand verification by the ICTC prior to Geneva. Minor clashes continued on fronts, though the cease-fire is broadly viewed as fragile but effective. Vientiane sent delegations to Hin Heup for talks with Pathet Lao and Souvanna Phouma remains involved.
