VietNamNet Bridge – A high-speed railway connecting Laos and
Vietnam, the first of its kind, will soon be put into construction and is
expected to be operational in the next five years.
The 5 billion USD project will be
invested by Malaysia’s Giant Consolidated Limited group.
A signing ceremony for the
construction contract was held in the Lao capital city of Vientiane on November
5 in the presence of Lao Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong and Malaysian
Prime Minister Najib Tun Abdu Razak.
The high-speed railway spans 220
km, running from the Lao central province Savannakhet to Lao Bao border gate of
neighbouring Vietnam.
The railway will be part of the
Southeast Asian railway network, which when completed will ensure uninterrupted
connectivity between Laos and other regional countries to Kunming city of
southern Yunnan province of China.
