The China-Laos railway has profoundly changed the transportation pattern in Laos. It is of great significance for intensifying economic, social and cultural cooperation and exchanges between China and Laos, accelerating the construction of the China-Laos economic corridor and building a China-Laos community with a shared future. As an important backbone of the Trans-Asian Railway, the China-Laos Railway will also have a positive impact on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area and the Greater Mekong Sub-region economic cooperation. On December 3, 2021, the China-Laos Railway, a giant steel dragon connecting China and neighboring Laos, opened to traffic!
