China, Laos, Cambodia Links
VIETNAM Railways also plans to link its existing network, which was originally built by the French between 1881 and 1936, to China, Cambodia and Laos, said Bang, who joined Vietnam Railways when the war ended in 1975. He became CEO in 2003 after studying in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s. The number of people travelling by train in Vietnam fell 2.6 percent to about 11 million last year, according to the Hanoi-based General Statistics Office, while air passengers rose 4.2 percent to 10.97 million. Itochu has separately won a contract to work on an initial study for a 45-kilometer double-track rail link from the center of Hanoi to the capital’s Noi Bai airport, Bang said. The company will likely finish the report for the railway, which may cost about $700 million, by the end of this month, he said. | DEP eyes BIFF & BIL 2010 as springboard for Thai fashion industry to be more competitive and visible in global marketplace Asean, World Bank to scale up collaboration in key areas Asean exchanges appoint NYSE Technologies as solution provider ASEAN Nations uncertain of Free Trade Agreement with China Vietnam May Pick Sumitomo, Itochu for Bullet Train Cheaper Tickets China, Laos, Cambodia Links Philippines still world’s no. 2 outsourcing hub Philippine Department of Tourism optimistic about ASEAN ‘open skies’ deal Lao PDR expanding electricity access, boosting power exports
