The China-Laos Railway has handled 25,000 cross-border passenger travels since the launch of its passenger services on April 13.
During the period, the Chinese border town of Mohan in the country’s southwestern Yunnan Province logged 14,156 inbound passenger trips and 11,752 outbound trips.
“After the China-Laos Railway launched the international passenger train service, many Lao enterprises are willing to do business in China. My friends and I go to China this time to investigate the Longan market,” said Phoumy Sisaivong, a tourist from Laos.
The China-Laos Railway, a landmark project of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, started operations in December 2021. The 1,035-km railway connects China’s Kunming with Vientiane in Laos.
