Kinshasa Business Pulse

Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.

Vientiane Business Pulse

Culture Relaxed, polite, and relationship-driven. Business is personal and moves steadily.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Laotian business culture is known for being polite and less fast-paced than neighboring hubs. Take time for personal greetings. Hierarchy and social harmony are important. Decisions are often made through consensus over several meetings.
