Souksavanh Sesengchan has been looking forward to experiencing the trains firsthand since the China-Laos Railway commenced operations.

"With the opening of the China-Laos Railway, traveling for Lao people has become more convenient," he said.

The railway has transformed traveling in Laos and highlighted the urgent growing need for more railway-related professionals.

During the visit, Souksavanh Sesengchan and other Ministry of Public Works and Transport of Laos officials hoped to improve their understanding of Chinese high-speed rail technology and talent cultivation.

"Many Lao students study high-speed rail knowledge in cities like Liuzhou and Changsha in China. We also hope for collaboration to nurture such talents with China," he said.
