A specialised route for goods transportation was opened last week, linking the Tan Thanh border gate of Vietnam’s Lang Son province with the Pu Zhai border gate of China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The ceremony was attended by the secretaries of the Communist Party of Vietnam committees of Lang Son, Ha Giang, Cao Bang and Quang Ninh provinces, and Secretary of the Communist Party of China Committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Lu Xinshe.
This is one of the activities in the framework of the Spring Meeting 2019 among the Secretaries of 4 border localities of Vietnam and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China.
The official opening of this route is an important milestone in the development of cooperation between the 4 border localities of Vietnam and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The route will facilitate goods transportation and export-import activities through Tan Thanh and Pu Zhai border gates, thus reducing the goods congestion at the Vietnamese side. It is also expected to help enhance bilateral tourism partnership and people-to-people exchanges.
Invested with 228 billion VND (9.8 million USD), the road is more than 4.7km long and 19.5m wide. Its construction began in 2015.
