The new international freight corridor connects China’s capital Beijing and the Yunnan (Chinan) province with Southeast Asian countries. It was inaugurated by the launch of the international cold-chain freight train on the China-Laos railway on 14. October 2024, China Railways said. Loaded with 390 t of Laotian bananas, the maiden train set off from Kunming (Yunnan) and headed to Beijing.
The new "Beijing-Yunnan-Vientiane" railfreight service will be used to transport light industrial consumer goods, and mechanical and electronic products from China to other Asian countries, including Laos, Thailand and Singapore. (ben)
