PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): A delegation of the Cambodia Logistics Association (CLA) is in Laos from June 21-23 to explore the particulars of setting up an effective railway line connecting the Kingdom to its northern neighbour that could best save transport time and costs.

The team was joined by representatives of the Vietnamese and Lao logistics sectors on a trip to three primary destinations, along with meetings to discuss the Southern Corridor of the Trans-Asian Railway (TAR) project and other similar initiatives to link China with Mekong countries.
