“The international freight trains of the China-Laos Railway make the logistics transportation between the two countries fast and cost-controllable. Since the opening of the railway, its freight transportation volume has increased month by month,” Xu Jiefeng, director of the marketing department of Kunming East Railway Station, was quoted as saying by Chinese media reports.
Currently, international freight trains from 25 provincial-level regions in China are being operated on the China-Laos Railway. Countries that utilise freight transportation services on the railway route include Singapore, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.
The China-Laos Railway is over 1,000 km long and connects Yunan province’s capital Kunming to Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
