China Daily  

Lao students attend a lecture inside a bullet train model at Kunming Railway Vocational and Technical College in 2022. In August last year, 40 Lao students at the college completed two years of training and headed back to the Lao Railway Vocational Technical College in Vientiane. Kunming Railway Vocational and Technical College supports its Lao counterpart with infrastructure, training and a partnership involving two years of training in Kunming for Lao teachers, followed by five years of on-site technical support in Laos by Chinese experts. "To make the China-Laos Railway a lasting driver of socioeconomic growth, Laos must cultivate its own railway talent," said Feng Tao, vicedean of the Electrical Engineering School at Kunming Railway Vocational and Technical College. Feng, an expert in bridge and tunnel construction of railway engineering, is the leader of the third Chinese expert team assisting the Lao Railway Vocational Technical College, trained Lao instructors in China in 2022 and is now in Vientiane for on-site teaching.
