Laos’ historic passenger train named Lane Xang to arrive on Oct 15
The first passenger train to run on the Laos-China railway, which is scheduled to open on Dec 2, is expected to arrive in Vientiane on Friday (Oct 15). Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh confirmed last week that the Laos-China Railway will open on Dec 2 despite the escalating Covid-19 outbreak. Authorities are drawing up plans for the opening and operation of the railway under conditions that comply with virus control measures, to ensure the safety of everyone concerned.
