The newly opened China-Laos Railway has seen progress in passenger and cargo movements, boosting domestic tourism along the railway and promoting logistics between China and ASEAN countries.
The China-Laos Railway performed well in the transport of both passengers and goods over the last month, boosting tourism, trade and bilateral exchanges.
The China-Laos Railway has transported over 50,000 tonnes of goods since starting operation earlier this month, according to the China Railway Kunming Group Co., Ltd.
A China-Laos Railway freight train loaded with nearly 1,000 tons of goods from Anning departed on Dec 17 from Anning, Yunnan, beginning its journey to Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
The Lao economy is projected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2022, driven by exports and opportunities and benefits arising from the China-Laos Railway, according to a latest report.
China Railway Kunming Bureau Group Co said it will add more trains to meet demand from travelers on the new China-Laos Railway.
