High hopes for 5th Thai-Lao bridge

- SUPOJ WANCHAROEN

>>The Fifth Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, connecting Bueng Kan province in northeastern Thailand with Bolikhamxay province in Laos, is set to open by the end of this year.

The project could boost cross-border trade between the two countries by at least 5% annually, while strengthening transport links across the Greater Mekong Subregion, advocates say.

Transport Minister Suriya Jun-grungreangkit, who presided over a concrete pouring ceremony at the bridge site on Friday, said the bridge will serve as a vital artery for trade and logistics between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.
