Monument Books Laos is glad to organize a monthly event with the Women's International Group.
Events such as conferences and book presentations, will be held every last Tuesday of the month.
For the first meeting, MB Laos and the WIG are honoured to present a conference by Michel Mixay.
Born in Laos into a Lao–French–Khmer family, Somsanouk Mixay was educated in France. He chose to contribute his talent and energy to the development of his native country, and returned to Laos in 1973.
Working in the media sector for over 30 years, he has played an important role in developing and improving the printed as well as electronic press in Laos. He started the English and French language news programme on the Lao National Radio and National Television.
The founder of the Vientiane Times, 1994 and the French language magazine Le Renovateur, 1998, Mr Mixay is also a prolific writer, writing articles and books on various topics, especially related to Lao culture. He published “Treasures of Lao Literature”, two volumes in English, and a book on religious and cultural ceremonies of Luang Prabang (the book is in Lao, with photos by Hans Berger), and Pimai ceremonies in Luang Prabang (bilingual French and English). At present he is the Vice President of the Lao Journalist Association.
Mr Mixay will be honouring our event by being our first guest speaker, on Tuesday, May 29th.
