On April 27, Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge Group Co., Ltd. officially signed the EPC general contracting contract with Shanhe International University in Laos, marking a new achievement in the educational cooperation between China and Laos. Lin Cunyou, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge, and Hu Haibo, President of Shanhe International University, jointly attended the signing ceremony, and representatives of the company's management and the project team witnessed this important moment.

The project is located in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, with a contract value of 810 million yuan and a construction period of 912 days. As a key cooperation project under the Belt and Road Initiative, Shanhe International University will deeply integrate the local characteristics of Laos with international advanced educational concepts. After its completion, it will fill the gap in comprehensive higher education in Laos and become an important platform for cultivating local professional talents and promoting cultural exchanges between China and Laos.

At the signing ceremony, Lin Cunyou stated that Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge will give full play to the advantages of a listed company and build a quality project and a demonstration project in accordance with the "Three Highs" standards. Hu Haibo highly recognized the industry strength of Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge and looked forward to long-term cooperation between the two sides. This signing is not only a collaboration between an enterprise and a university, but also opens up a new path for cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and Laos.

On the next day, Lin Cunyou paid a visit to Saisamone Sitthipong, Executive Vice Chairman of the Lao-Chinese Cooperation Committee and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Laos, and the two sides held in-depth talks on deepening cooperation in the field of infrastructure. Lin Cunyou introduced in detail the company's core competitiveness in the fields of highways, bridges, municipal works, and housing construction, as well as its experience in international projects. Saisamone Sitthipong expressed his gratitude to Chinese enterprises for their contribution to the development of Laos' infrastructure and shared the planning of key aid projects in Laos.

The two sides reached a number of cooperation consensuses. Saisamone Sitthipong hoped that Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge would give full play to its technical and management advantages and participate in the construction of major infrastructure projects in Laos to promote regional connectivity. Lin Cunyou responded that the company would actively respond to the development needs of Laos, integrate high-quality resources, and contribute to the construction of the China-Laos Community with a Shared Future.

In recent years, relying on the Belt and Road Initiative, Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge has been deeply engaged in the overseas market. With its outstanding technical strength and good corporate reputation, it has established the brand image of "Shandong Hi-Speed". Signing the project of Shanhe International University is an important milestone for the company in exploring the Lao market. In the future, taking this as an opportunity, Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge will continue to deepen regional cooperation and inject new impetus into the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. (This article is from the official website of Seetao.com, www.seetao.com.
