Railway could be built sooner than planned: Official
Much has been done to move construction of the Vientiane-China railway forward following the groundbreaking ceremony that took place last month, the Deputy Minister of Public Works and Transport has said.
Mr Lattanamany Khounnivong told local media last week that construction could take just over four years, slightly less than the original estimation of five years.
Speaking during an interview with Lao National Television (LNT) on 1 January, attended by reporters from various media outlets, he said the developers were keen to plough ahead with the 38.7 billion yuan (US$6.04 billion) project.
