China-Laos Railway gears up in its first year

A total of 25 provincial-level regions exported more than 1,200 categories of goods via the railway to numerous countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, including Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam.

The company has made multipronged efforts to build a popular China-Laos international cargo transport brand and an intelligent logistics platform.

The railway started operation in December last year and stretches 1,035 kilometers, linking Kunming, Yunnan province, with the Laotian capital, Vientiane.
