Chinese companies helping transform Lao economy

VIENTIANE - "Every project department of China Railway is ready to be dispatched at any time!"

At the end of July, when a deadly flash flood swept through Attapeu province of southern Laos, China Railway, a Chinese company constructing the China-Laos Railway in the country, provided assistance to the disaster-stricken areas without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lao Asia Pacific Satellite Co Ltd, also known as LaoSat, a joint venture between China and Laos, immediately sent a technical team to provide live satellite television broadcasts and emergency communication services for the victims and rescuers in the disaster-stricken Attapeu. They transmitted real-time video content through the satellite network to the forefront of the disaster area.
