VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): As Laos becomes an increasingly important logistics and transport connector linking Southeast Asia, China and Europe, the shipment of freight through the country is very beneficial due to the cost-effective services provided and bolsters opportunities, the developer of the Thanaleng Dry Port told a Malaysian Minister.

Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Malaysia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and his entourage visited the Thanaleng Dry Port International Border Checkpoint (Cargo Terminal) and the Vientiane Logistics Park in Vientiane on June 26 and learned firsthand about the opportunities on offer.
