The Chongqing Vocational College of Public Transportation recently hosted 43 students from Thailand to help develop Thai high-speed railway technicians.
During the one-year training program, these students will learn Chinese language and high-speed railway practices, including railway maintenance, operation, telecommunication, mechatronics and locomotive.
As part of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Thailand started building Thailand's first high-speed railway in December 2017.
China plans to build a 5,500-km Trans-Asia Railway, beginning in Yunnan's provincial capital Kunming and traveling through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia, before ending in Singapore.
