The launching ceremony of the train was held in Vientiane on November 5th. According to the introduction of Laos China Railway Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the operation of the Laos section, the China Laos Railway will continue to support the export of Laos' characteristic agricultural products to China, and it is expected to ship more than two relevant trains every week.
