New Viet Nam-China international road transport route opens
Compared with previous routes, the new corridor saves each truck approximately one day in transport time and reduces costs up to 1,000 CNY (over 138 USD).
Convoys carrying electronic components, fresh vegetables, and daily necessities departed simultaneously from Nanning in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Kunming in southwest China's Yunnan province on May 14 morning, heading for Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam.

Trucks carry imported/exported goods at Huu Nghi border gate in the northern province of Lang Son. |
The convoys will traverse through Hekou border gate in Yunnan province and Youyi Guan border gate in Guangxi before entering Viet Nam.
This marks the first time that Chinese freight vehicles operating under the Greater Mekong Sub-region Cross-border Transport Facilitation Agreement (CBTA) will reach Viet Nam's inland regions directly via the newly opened route.
The route represents a significant enhancement in facilitating international road transport between China and Viet Nam, resulting in a notable improvement in transportation efficiency.
