South Korea to fund Laos–Vietnam railway feasibility study
Vietnam’s transport ministry and the Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA) have agreed to study the feasibility of a 500 km-long railway link from Laos’ Vientiane to Vung Ang in central Ha Tinh Province of Vietnam.
The study will be conducted with a $US3-million ODA grant from KOICA for three years from 2015, with the aim of preparing a master plan and providing capacity building to the railway sector in the two countries.
