China To Build Section Of China-Laos-Thailand Railway

HANOI, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- China will invest 20.4 billion Chinese yuan (about US$ 3 billion) to build a 600-km railway segment running from its Southwestern province of Yunnan to Thailand's Mohan through Laos.

A feasibility study of the Yuxi-Mohan section of the China-Laos-Thailand international railway will be completed within this year, the Vietnam news agency (VNA) said.

The commencement of the construction works planned as early as possible, an official with the Yunnan railway construction leading group was quoted by VNA as saying.

Up to 70 percent of the total investment of the project will be provided by the Chinese Ministry of Railways, with the remainder being funded by Yunnan Province.
