China and Laos share the same mountains and waters and have been friendly neighbors since ancient times. Since the signing of the Action Plan for Building a China-Laos Community with a Shared Future in April 2019, China and Laos have made joint efforts and worked for fruitful results in the building of a China-Laos community with a shared future. In particular, the two sides have built the China-Laos Railway into a road of development, a road of happiness and a road of friendship, which has not only brought huge benefits to the two peoples, but also set a fine example for Belt and Road cooperation and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
