Laos Pact Forms Neutral Coalition Amidst Tense Unity
Tokyo reports a three-way Laos pact to form a neutral coalition led by Prince Souvanna Phouma with Souphanouvong and Phoumi Nosavan as deputy premiers. The agreement requires unanimous consent on defense interior and foreign affairs, a potential hurdle amid US pressure and rival suspicions. Phoumi reluctantly accepts, calling it the only solution, though dissatisfaction lingers.
