Foreign trade volume in Mohan Port on the China-Laos border exceeded 1.5 million tons last year, up 26.7 percent year on year. From January to April this year, the figure stood at 992,000 tons, a 60 percent increase compared with the same period last year.
The two countries worked hard to establish the Mohan-Moding economic cooperation zone, giving priority to warehousing and logistics.
Under the influence of globalization and regional integration, border regions are not forbidden zones anymore, but have great economic opportunities, said Cai Jin, deputy head of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.
He said cross-border cooperation has also been expanded into new areas in addition to trade, so the logistics industry needs to be developed urgently.
Enterprises Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand established a logistics alliance this month "to share freight resources and provide secure transnational transport services."
