Vietnam's new leader To Lam will discuss rail upgrades with President Xi Jinping in China next week. This comes as both nations aim to enhance trade by improving rail links, crucial for supply chains.
Existing railways need modernization, as outdated infrastructure and different track gauges complicate transport. Despite historical tensions, economic needs are driving cooperation.
Xi has offered financial aid, and new agreements are expected during Lam's visit. Vietnam's biggest infrastructure project, a high-speed rail from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, highlights the growing collaboration.
