A freight transit yard for the China-Laos Railway was officially put into operation on July 1, with the first railway containers heading to Thailand's Laem Chabang port. 

The freight transit yard of China-Laos Railway's Vientiane South Station is expected to work to improve the efficiency of freight transport between China and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), providing reliable transport support for the China-Laos Economic Corridor and the building of a China-ASEAN community with a shared future for mankind.

The freight transit yard will greatly benefit Laos, given its significant role in bolstering the transport of goods.
