Viet Nam, Laos, Thailand beef up transport cooperation

Vientiane (VNA) - Vietnamese Minister of Transport Ho Nghia Dung; Lao Minister of Communications, Transport, Post and Construction Sommad Pholsena; and Thai Minister of Transport met last week in the Lao province of Savannakhet, in a bid to develop traffic systems that link the three countries.

The ministers agreed to help Laos build roads connecting Laos with Viet Nam and Thailand, and upgrade the Dansavanh-Lao Bao border gate between Laos and Viet Nam.

They also heard reports presented by Savannakhet authorities on the province’s road infrastructure projects that are in need of investments.

Viet Nam, Laos and Thailand first signed a deal on developing traffic systems that link the three countries in 1995, but it took a full decade off before it got the ground.

The Dansavanh-Lao Bao border gate, which saw 199,000 tonnes of goods pass through it last year, has become an important transit centre between the three Southeast Asian countries.-Enditem
