He had been chief of the Laotian Communist Party since 1955 and was premier from 1975 to August 1991, when the National Assembly elected him president and endowed the post with greater power.

But political dissent still is not tolerated. He was born in 1920 in the southern panhandle province of Savanakhet, his official biography says.

His mother was a Lao peasant, his Vietnamese father a civil servant for the French, who then ruled Laos.

Indochinese Communist Party. He reportedly developed strong personal ties with North Vietnam's revolutionary father, Ho Chi Minh, and its military leader, Vo Nguyen Giap. Kaysone received his first military and political training from the Viet Minh. Ho sent Kaysone back to Laos to join the anti-French movement when revolutionaries began laying the foundation of what was to become the Lao Patriotic Front, or Pathet Lao, and the power behind it, the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. In 1949, Kaysone was made commander of the Free Lao revolutionary army and became one of the Indochinese Communist Party's first Lao members.

When the Free Lao Front established in 1950, Kaysone was appointed to the clandestine government's Central Committee and made defense minister. Five years later, the Lao Revolutionary Party was founded, and he was elected its secretarygeneral and made commander of the Pathet Lao army. His rapid rise was attributed to his intellect and organizational ability, and his close ties with North Vietnam, which backed the Pathet Lao against France and the Vientiane government. War in Laos ended in 1973, and for the next two years the Pathet Lao consolidated power. On Dec.

2, 1975, the 600-yearold monarchy was abolished, opposition coalition leaders were ousted from the government and Kaysone was appointed premier.
