The newly-launched freight reloading yard at the Vientiane South Station on the China-Laos Railway plays a role in further boosting the development of the service, processing and agricultural sectors in Laos. With the new transit yard, it takes one day less to deliver goods between southwest China's Kunming City and Thailand's Laem Chabang Port, which saves 20 percent on transport costs. The facility will enable goods along the railway to reach northward to connect the China-Euro railway and southward to the Thai capital of Bangkok and the port of Laem Chabang, further boosting trade between China and ASEAN countries.
