“The signing of the Concession Agreement represents an important step of the project’s progress,” said Chen Wenshan, YCIH chairman and shareholders’ representative of the Laos-China Joint Expressway Development.
The YCIH has the confidence and ability to complete timely and quality construction of the project, Chen said, adding the expressway will be a demonstration model for future highways in Laos.
