Kep train station in the northern province of Bac Giang will offer international freight transportation services from February 20, as it meets all necessary conditions, according to the Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR).
Specifically, the station will organise a fleet of trains running from Kep to Dong Dang Station in the border province of Lang Son and then to China’s Pingxiang station.
