中老铁路于12月3日全线开通运营。中老铁路全长1035公里，连接中国西南部云南省昆明市和老挝首都万象，是中国“一带一路”倡议与老挝“变陆锁国为陆联国”战略对接的重要项目。

The China-Laos Railway, a landmark project connecting Kunming in southwest China's Yunnan province with the Laotian capital, Vientiane, begins operations on Dec 3. The 1,035-kilometer-long railway is a docking project between the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and Laos' strategy to convert itself from a landlocked country to a land-linked hub.
