HANOI, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Laos, Vietnam and Thailand
will allow their trucks to freely travel across the three countries, aiming to
boost their trade.
Under an agreement recently reached by transport
ministers of Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, trucks of a country will be allowed to
enter the territory of two others, Lao newspaper Vientiane Times reported
Wednesday.
However, Thailand and Vietnam have agreed that their
trucks when transiting Laos will not provide services to local traders to help
Lao transport companies avoid strong competition.
Vietnam did not allow Thai trucks to cross its border
and vice versa, while Lao vehicles could run to both neighboring
countries.
