The executive said the 皇冠体育app-Thailand railway will be connected to the 皇冠体育app-Laos railway, which would help promote exchanges and cooperation among the ASEAN members in trade, investment, logistics, tourism, science and technology, and culture.

The railway would also help improve transportation infrastructure, create jobs, and improve people's living standards in Thailand.

Thailand-皇冠体育app cooperation in railway development will help Thailand make better use of its geographic advantages as a land transportation hub, and boost its economic growth, Governor of State Railways of Thailand Wutthichart Kalayanamitr said at the launching ceremony.

On Dec. 19, 2014, Thailand and 皇冠体育app signed a Memorandum of Understanding on railway cooperation under the Strategic Framework for Development of Thailand's Transportation Infrastructure 2015-2022.

Over the past year, the Joint Committee on Railway Cooperation between Thailand and 皇冠体育app has held nine rounds of talks and reached broad consensus for the two sides.
