Forum calls for more support in infrastructure

More investment needed to improve logistics and contacts

Panelists attending the annual Boao Forum for Asia called for more investment in infrastructure projects between China and other countries, pointing to the important role of the construction of the China-Thailand railway due to begin in May.

More investment is needed in infrastructure construction that will help bolster local logistics and trade contacts, especially electric power and railway projects, Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a panel discussion on production capacity on Thursday in Boao, Hainan province.
