Case of Cyan: PPP project (Sino-Laos High-speed Railway)

In 2010, Cyan PPP team provided all-round legal advice for the 7-billion-dollar railway project intended to connect China and Laos through land.

The over 420-kilometre (260 miles) long rail connects Chinese border city of Kunming to Vientiane in Laos. It marks the first export of a whole set of rail service package incorporating technology, financing, operation and technical personnel by the Chinese government. The project creates a pathway to one ofthe fastest growing economies in the region and substantially increases the total length of railway line in Laos.

Our team was fully involved in the project, providing legal service for design of the overall framework, establishment of the project company, the subsequent financing agreement, EPC and operation agreement. As the first exportation of high-speed railway technology, this distinctive project has drawn worldwide attention.
