Kunming-Bangkok road to put into use this year

Kunming-Bangkok road to put into use this year

A Chamber of Commerce delegation from Thailand will visit Kunming later this month and sign a cooperative contract with the local government of Yunnan Province. They will also discuss further economic cooperation between the two sides after the completion of the Kunming-Bangkok Highway this year.
Kunming-Bangkok road is a main project supporting China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone. It starts in Kunming and terminates in Bangkok, with the section extending over 1,900 km. Currently the construction of the Chinese section of the road has been completed, and the Thai section will be finished later this year.
Recently a transport association in Yunnan has signed a cooperative contract with the local government of Bankok. The association will help to pool the transportation resources of some 858 enterprises in Yunnan to boost trade between Thailand and Yunnan.
