Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone lauded the China-Laos Railway for its economic benefits as well as its contribution to promoting regional connectivity.

As a landmark project of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, the 1,035-km railway connects Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, with the Laotian capital Vientiane. It has handled millions of tons of imported and exported goods since it was put into operation in December 2021.

In a recent interview with China Media Group, Sonexay highlighted the wonderful results brought by the railway.
