NONG KHAI, Thailand -- Laos, a small one-party state in Southeast Asia, is developing into a regional logistics hub, thanks to its rail connections with its neighbors.
The construction of a railway to connect the Laotian capital, Vientiane, with the Port of Vung Ang in central Vietnam, will start soon, possibly in November, according to the Vientiane Times newspaper. The move is the Laotian government's latest effort to turn the capital into a logistics hub by forging rail links with China, Vietnam and Thailand.
