Landlocked Asian socialist country (4)

I believe the answer is:

laos

(Other definitions for laos that I've seen before include "Landlocked state in southeastern Asia" , "Country of Indo-China, capital Vientiane" , "SE Asian country" , "South-east Asian republic, capital Vientiane" , "part of Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
