"Experiencing automatic driving of trains and getting a close-up feel of Chinese high-speed railway technology was so fantastic," said Souksavanh Sesengchan, a representative of the Laotian Ministry of Transportation in Liuzhou, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on Wednesday.

On the same day, 29 officials from Laos, Malaysia and other countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative gathered at the Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College to participate in the Seminar on Economic Corridor Building & Connectivity Cooperation under the Global Development Initiative.
