Laos and China agreed that construction of the railway would begin in April 2011 to mark the 50th anniversary of Laos-China diplomatic relations and be completed within four years.

Mr Somsavat said that Laos and China signed a memorandum of understanding on the railway in April 2010 after President Choummaly Sayasone and Chinese President Hu Jintao signed an agreement to elevate relations between the two countries to that of 'all round strategic cooperation partners'.

He also said the profile of Laos would be raised as it would be the first country in the region to have a high speed railway.

The railway would be 421km long and include 190km of tunnels and 90km of bridges. It is envisaged that electric trains travelling at 200km per hour would carry passengers and trains travelling at 120 km per hour would carry freight.

There would be five main stations along the line -- at Boten, Oudomxay, Luang Prabang, Vangvieng and Vientiane.

Mr Somsavat said construction of the railway would involve 50,000 workers, adding that the project would train workers in Laos while management staff would be sent to China for training.

The railway would form part of the Asean-China rail link, which begins in Yunnan province, China, and runs to Singapore through Laos and Thailand.

@MrPbandasak What made u 2 conclude that I'm not 100% lao? Specified what did i say to indicate the insults, or look down on my own lao pple? Was i not constructive enough on my comments? All i did was, in context of who is controlling lao comm. gov't, warning what is going to happen? Funny,in 1600s, Galileo was badly punished for his discovered that earth is round like a sphere! I'll over look your personal attked against me; we're not in the same league!! Best wishes to you.

@handsQme1 You r the only person who understand & worried about lao communist gov't selling our homeland to China at a very dirt cheap price. None of lao's construction Co.s got contracts to built this hi- speed train, & only 1% of the total # of laborers are lao pple w/shitty pay; the remainings are chinese, & all construction materials r imported from china. The current # of chinese live+work in laos R < then 200K pple; while R lao pple have to seek work illegally w/ shitty pay in Thailand

@LanXangLaoSThaBrave It takes tremendeous amount of understanding: global insite politically/economically, the movement or flow of capital, understand the super power nations needs in terms of macros, or micros strategically. Hist. Rcaps! China, Burma, Siam, Vietnam, France, etc., have taken somethings from our beloved homeland; & Laos didn't have any mechanism to protect itself than!! even more so, at current situation! China took Tibet,& attacked Vietnam territorial dispute in late 1978s!
