The LaosVietnam International Wharf project is a strategically important collaboration for the socio-economic development of the two countries and is a key force enabling the Lao PDR to implement strategies for transforming a landlocked country into a connected, accessible country, bringing tangible results. This will help the Lao PDR enhance its capacity in transportation and logistics with new quality standards, especially in maritime transport of goods via Lao ports, connecting with regional and international networks, promoting trade and investment with foreign countries, and increasing days of operational activity in the future.
