Govt denies Sino-Thai railway project will be cancelled

Deputy Government Spokesman Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd denied Monday that the Sino-Thai double-track railway project linking Nong Khai, to Map Ta Phut in Rayong and Bangkok would be cancelled.

He said it was just a rumour. He said the fifth meeting of a joint committee of the two countries will be held this month and the estimation of the construction cost will be done in August for the construction to start within this year.
