Laos: Vangvieng seeks closer ties with Chongqing to expand trade, tourism

“To advance this objective, Chairman of the Vangvieng District Administration Committee, Mr Suviegthong Vongchampa, recently led a delegation to Jiangjin district in Chongqing, one of southwest China’s key logistics and manufacturing hubs and an important gateway linking China with ASEAN markets.”

“A major highlight of the trip was a visit to the Xiaonanya Railway Logistics Centre, a core hub of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor through which China-Laos Railway freight services operate.”

“At the International Logistics Hub Exhibition Centre of the Chongqing Hub Port Industrial Park, Chinese officials introduced plans to strengthen connectivity under the proposed China-Laos-Thailand Economic Corridor and shared information on cross-border transport and cold-chain logistics development.”

“Jiangjin district serves as the main hub of Chongqing’s New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and has actively expanded cooperation with ASEAN countries, including Laos, by leveraging its strategic position connecting the China-Europe Railway Express and regional trade routes.”

“Located in southwest China, Chongqing has emerged as a major pillar of China’s global trade network under the Belt and Road Initiative. The municipality connects to more than 560 ports in 127 countries and regions through an extensive network of rail, road and maritime routes.”
