All railroads lead to Hanoi ... at a cost of $686 mln

$686 mln needed to build Cambodia-Vietnam rail route

Thanh Nien News (Hanoi)

A 257-kilometer railway route connecting Cambodia and Vietnam will cost US$686 million, not including compensation to be paid to people that the project will displace.

The Vietnam News Agency quoted a Cambodian press release as saying Thursday the route would run between Kampong Speu in Cambodia and Tay Ninh Province in Vietnam.

While the project awaits approval from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, officials have not said if the country can afford its costs, the news source reported.


Since July 2009, a feasibility study for the project has been carried out by a company under China’s Ministry of Railways

In 2008, China had pledged $500 million for the project that is expected to benefit Cambodia economically, especially promoting its agriculture and mining sectors.

The route would be part of a longer rail link between Singapore and Kunming in China, expected to be completed in 2020.

Cambodia is dirt poor, we don't have that much of money. Do you know how much we make from begging in Bangkok for a day?

You are a mole, so stop making my people to fight with one another. So far, Hun Sen is calling upon all professional people to join in the same team and work together as a group to benefit its kingdom. In the end the good will win. Right now, HunSen is a lot smarter than he used to. Too bad to all the moles who tried sooo hard to break us up because we are alot smarter now.

God blesses srok khmer

Hun Sen murdered a lot of Cambodian people such as K5, 1997 Coup with lost count.

Hun Sen gives over 30 000 km2 of Cambodia area to Vietnam.

Hun Sen steal from the Cambodian people to make him rich.

Yes with no doubt you are one of the traitor group of CPP sell out Cambodia to be richer.

Hun Sen planes to use this rail way to transport Vietnamese soldiers into Cambodia when he need them to kill patriot Cambodian who try to rise up or talk about Vietnam invasion.

Hun SEn uses this railway to transport Vietnam troops and Vietnamese people into Cambodia as effectively faster.

That is the main aim of this rail way system.
