Cambodia and Thailand Agree on Cross-border Railway Bridge Construction


22 July 2014

Cambodia and Thailand are supposed to officially begin the construction of a railway bridge crossing the border between the two countries late next week.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the railway bridge construction project was scheduled after the site visits of the two countries’ officials lately with an exit meeting at Poipet city in the Cambodian northwestern province of Banteay Meanchey on Friday last week. In the meeting, Undersecretary of State for Public Works and Transport discussed with the representative of Railway Company of the Thai side on the selection of location for the upcoming groundbreaking ceremony.

The new move will further assist trading between Cambodia and Thailand, especially when the two neighbors are part of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community.
