Laos to receive technical training from Chinese on proposed high-speed railway
Chinese railway experts are providing technical training this month for Lao officials in charge of a U.S. $7 billion high-speed railway project that will link the two neighboring countries and extend to Thailand, although the Chinese government has yet to sign a contract to begin construction, a Lao government official said.
The training comes the same month as the Ministry of Public Works and Transport issued a notice to foreign and Lao companies with operations in the capital Vientiane and the provinces to submit bids for building the Lao-Chinese Railway project.
