Headline UN Secretary-General Visits Laos 
Caption Description While in Vientiane, UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld and his party took part in the Basi ceremony, a traditional Laotian way of honouring and wishing well to someone.  Part of the ceremony involves the lying of cotton cords draped from bowls of flowers to the wrists of the person being honoured, while the Lao elders recite a blessing.  Here, Mr. W. Wachtmeister (right), personal assistant to the Secretary-General; and Mr. W. Ranallo (centre), personal aide to the Secretary-General, receive the Basi cord from an elder.
