Maritime connection projects under construction in the ASEAN region include the shipping route between Qinzhou Port in Guangxi and Kuantan Port in Malaysia, the China-ASEAN port logistics information center, and the cooperation mechanism between port cities in China and ASEAN. In terms of land transport connections, the construction of the Pan-Asia Railroad and the Nanning-Singapore Corridor are being discussed. The government of Thailand suggested two railway routes based on the current lines, one from Kunming to Bangkok and the other from Kunming to Vientiane, both of which could connect the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area with the pan-Asia region. The 3,800-km Nanning-Singapore Corridor starts from Nanning in Guangxi and runs south all the way to Singapore. The corridor covers Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia and once complete, it will connect 1.5 billion people. Yang Xiuping, the Chinese Ambassador to ASEAN, said that logistics integration would not only improve transport but also bring people in the region together.
