Eakvixay Tran, a Lao student studying economics at Tsinghua University, shares his insights on the significant impact of the China-Laos Railway. This major infrastructure project connects southwest China's Kunming City with Laos' capital, Vientiane, and has become fully operational, fostering enhanced import and export activities.
According to Tran, the railway has not only boosted the movement of goods but also facilitated a rich exchange of culture and personnel between the two nations. This connectivity has opened up new opportunities for Laos, allowing it to leverage its abundant natural resources more effectively.
Tran's personal journey exemplifies the railway's influence, as he moved to Beijing to pursue his studies, benefiting from the improved accessibility and economic ties fostered by the railway. With China encouraging its enterprises to invest in Laos, Tran remains optimistic about the country's development potential and the future opportunities that lie ahead.
