The Nanning–Singapore Economic corridor is an initiative begun in 2010 in Southeast Asia, which would connect several cities in Southern China with Hanoi in Vietnam, Vientiane in Laos, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Bangkok in Thailand, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Singapore with modern road, rail, and pipelines, as well as cross-border economic initiatives.
The Corridor is planned to better connect neighbouring economies, and encourage development across the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area.
Development
One of the first steps is the Nanning-Pingxiang High-Speed Line, a railway in Guangxi province in southern China, which would form the northern end of the corridor. A 5000 km Nanning-Singapore railway is planned.
