Vietnam and Laos have signed an agreement to strengthen transport capacity on the route linking the two countries’ capital cities to meet the growing demand for passenger and cargo transport.

The agreement was signed during an annual meeting between the two countries’ transport officials in Laos’ Savannakhet province recently.

The pact aims to develop international-standard transport services on the route, responding to a recent increase in local and international travellers using the route.
It also outlines the opening of new routes from Vientiane to Hanoi.
