VIENTIANE, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Vientiane-Vangvieng section of the China-Laos expressway, the first expressway in Laos, was officially open to traffic on Sunday.

The opening ceremony of the Vientiane-Vangvieng section was simultaneously held in Vientiane, capital of Laos, and Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province,  via video link, on Sunday.
