Companies keen to develop Vientiane-Pakxe expressway project
Nineteen domestic and foreign companies have expressed their interest in developing the planned Vientiane-Pakxe expressway, a senior government official has said. The Ministry of Planning and Investment recently called for local and foreign investors to apply for participation in the mega project by submitting an official expression of interest letter along with relevant documentation. The submission deadline closed on February 14. The project’s coordinating official from the Ministry of Public Works and Transport told Vientiane Times on March 1 the government has issued a notice asking relevant ministries to assign representatives to a sub-committee which will be in charge of scrutinising the qualified applicants.
