Lao press reported on November 1 that at a meeting between Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Saleumxay Kommasith and Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara in Vientiane, the two sides discussed the extension of the cross-border railway from Nong Khai to Khamsavath railway station in the capital Vientiane to promote tourism and facilitate easier access to the Laos-China Railway.

According to Xinhua, the foreign ministers of the two countries also agreed to encourage relevant sectors of the two countries to consider measures to increase bilateral trade turnover by removing existing trade barriers and creating more favorable conditions for business activities.

The talks also aimed to promote tourism between Laos and Thailand through the use of Khamsavath train station in Vientiane, especially ahead of the expected increase in tourist arrivals during Visit Laos Year 2024.

According to The Star, further talks will be held to discuss the completion of border demarcation and joint efforts to reduce air pollution in border areas caused by agricultural burning. The two sides will also review many aspects of previous cooperation in the political and security fields.

In addition, the two sides agreed to continue previous commitments and agreements between the two sides, including the 2022-2026 Action Plan on strategic partnership for sustainable growth and development of the two countries.
