Laos, Malaysia establish strategic rail-sea trade link
“The partnership between the two companies is part of the broader effort to bolster economic ties between the two ASEAN members and the rest of the region.”
“PPSB is a subsidiary of MMC Port, while PTLH is the parent company of Vientiane Logistics Park Co., Ltd., which manages the Thanaleng Dry Port – Laos’ integrated logistics centre and the single window customs clearance point on the Laos-China Railway.”
“The partnership is part of a broader initiative under the regional Pan-Asia Railway Network, integrating the China-Laos Railway to create a strategic trade route linking southern China through Laos and Thailand, to Malaysia’s west coast.”
“Containing the standard-gauge Laos-China Railway and the one-metre gauge Laos-Thailand rail track that run side by side to enable seamless connection, Thanaleng Dry Port has facilitated rail freight expresses linking Malaysia to several Chinese cities, bolstering cross-border trade.”
