中老鐵路

.

大家好，歡迎來到碰詞兒現場！咱們今天要談論“中老鐵路”。

2010年4月，中國與寮國兩國間首次就合資建設、共同經營中老鐵路達成共識；2012年10月，寮國國會批准了中老鐵路項目；2015年12月，中老鐵路寮國段舉行了奠基儀式；2016年12月25日，中老鐵路全線開工儀式在寮國北部瑯勃拉邦舉行。中老鐵路不僅是第一個以中方為主投資建設、共同運營並與中國鐵路網直接聯通的境外鐵路項目，也是繼印尼雅萬高鐵項目之後第二個全面採用中國標準、中國技術和裝備的國際鐵路建設項目，該條線路同時也將成為泛亞鐵路網的重要組成部分。中老鐵路北起兩國邊境磨憨——磨丁口岸，南至萬象，全長400多公里，其中62.7%以上路段為橋梁和隧道，設計時速160公里，預計2021年建成通車，總投資近400億人民幣，由中老雙方按70%和30%的股比合資建設。

China-Laos railway

Hi! Welcome to“About China”. In today’s program, we will talk about "China-Laos railway".

In April 2010, an agreement was reached between China and Laos on the first China-Laos railway to be financed, built and operated jointly by both countries; it was approved by the Lao parliament in October 2012. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in December 2015 for the Lao section of the line. The construction of China-Laos railway officially got underway on December 25, 2016, following a ceremony held in the northern Lao city of Luang Prabang.

This planned line is China’s first overseas railway project to provide a direct link to China’s internal rail network, and the second such project – after the Jakarta-Bandung rail link in Indonesia – to be built with Chinese technology and equipment to meet Chinese standards. It will also be an important section of the pan-Asia railway network.

Starting from the Mohan-Boten crossing at the China-Laos border, the 400-kilometer-long line will run south to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. 63 percent of the railway will consist of bridges and tunnels. It is scheduled to open in 2021, with a design speed of 160 kilometers per hour. The investment in the project will be about 40 billion Chinese yuan (US$5.76 billion), 70 percent of which comes from China and the remainder from Laos.
