On March 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question. It was reported that the Lao ambassador to China recently said in an interview with the media that the China Laos railway is an important project of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Laos, creating a new situation for Laos' economic and social development, and turning the happy dreams of people along the line into reality. The ambassador also pointed out that the "the Belt and Road" initiative has transformed Laos from a land locked country to a land linked country, realizing regional connectivity, mutual benefit and win-win results. What is the speaker's comment on this.
Mao Ning said that the China Laos Railway has been in operation for 15 months. At present, cross-border freight trains have covered Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Singapore and other countries, and the number of trains in operation has increased from 2 trains per day to 12 trains per day. The names of goods have expanded from more than 100 to more than 2000 at the initial stage of opening, and the role of the China Laos Railway Golden Passage is increasingly emerging.
Mao Ning stressed that the China Laos Railway is a vivid example of the "the Belt and Road" cooperation, joint construction projects and dividend sharing, and also a landmark demonstration project of the "Clean Road" construction. As Foreign Minister Qin Gang pointed out at the press conference of the NPC and CPPCC, ten years since the "the Belt and Road" initiative was put forward, it has paved the way for common development, leaving behind "national landmarks", "livelihood projects" and "cooperation monuments". It is believed that with the continuous progress of high-quality co construction of the "the Belt and Road", there will be more and more high-quality cooperation projects that will bring development results, people's livelihood benefits and new opportunities for the common prosperity of all countries.
