VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): Authorities from Thailand and the operator of the Thanaleng Dry Port on Wednesday (Sept 6) met to discuss logistics and transport link opportunities, including the need to remove non-tariff barriers to speed the shipment of freight.

It comes as Laos is poised to become an important logistics hub between Southeast Asia, China and beyond, thanks to the operation of the Laos-China railway which converges with the Laos-Thailand railway at the dry port.
