China-Laos Railway route improves cargo transportation efficiency

This saves more than 20 days compared with traditional sea transportation, significantly improving the cargo transportation efficiency from inland China to Southeast Asia, an employee of the New Land-Sea Corridor Operation Co Ltd was quoted as saying by an official news agency.

"The regular operation of the China-Laos freight train has opened a more convenient export channel for high-quality products made in Chongqing to enter the ASEAN market," he was quoted as saying.

The China-Laos Railway, which started operations in December last year, covers over 1,000 km, linking Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, with Vientiane.
