Mr. Viengsavath Siphandone, Minister of Public Works and Transport, escorted him to the meeting.

Deputy Prime Minister Sonexay stated, "The Laos-China Railway will be completed in November and open and ready for usage by Laos National Day on December 2."

Mr. Sonexay Siphandone continued, "The construction of the Laos-China Railway Project is a key national project and is part of the Belt and Road program, which passes through Laos."

Authorities are currently working to resolve a few last-minute difficulties, such as compensating those who have been harmed by the Laos-China railway project and dealing with locations where the railway crosses roadways.

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has requested clearance for compensation of more than LAK 465 billion for persons impacted by the Laos-China railway project this year.
