Chinese freight vehicles depart for Vietnam on milestone journey
A total of 18 freight trucks and two buses departed from China on Wednesday bound for Hanoi, Vietnam, marking the first time Chinese freight vehicles have entered the Vietnamese hinterland under the Cross-Border Transport Agreement of the Greater Mekong Subregion initiative.
The convoy, carrying a range of cargo including electronic components, fresh vegetables, and general merchandise, set off from Kunming in Southwest China's Yunnan province and Nanning in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The vehicles are expected to arrive in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, on Thursday.
The milestone journey underscores deepening transport cooperation between China and Vietnam and is expected to significantly enhance cross-border logistics efficiency and promote regional economic integration.
