China-Laos railway lauded at AIPA-45 parliamentarians

Inside the carriage, representatives from different countries carefully observed the fully equipped facilities and praised the comfort and cleanliness of the train.

They were also impressed by the construction and the operation of the China-Laos railway, which demonstrated the significant progress Laos has made in infrastructure development.

The Laos-China Railway Co, a joint venture based in Vientiane responsible for the operation of the railway's Laos section, also set up an exhibition booth at the National Convention Center in Vientiane to showcase the key achievements of the railway.

Attracted by the booth, participants at AIPA-45 said the railway not only promotes Laos' socioeconomic development but also injects new vitality into the connectivity between Southeast Asia, China, and Eurasian countries.

This year's AIPA General Assembly was held under the theme "The Role of Parliaments in Enhancing Connectivity and Inclusive Growth of ASEAN", which aligned with Laos' ASEAN chairmanship theme, "ASEAN: Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience".
