The organization of international passenger trains between Vietnam and China is carried out based on the Vietnam-China Border Railway Agreement signed in 1992. Before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Vietnam Railways Corporation and China Railways organized international passenger trains between Hanoi and Nanning every day. The railway industry of the two countries expects the number of passengers to increase sharply after the resumption of this train due to the recent trend of people traveling by rail between the two countries and international tourists.
In the coming time, the railway industry of the two countries will monitor the density of passengers traveling by train to consider adjusting train frequency accordingly.
