The project outlines solutions to facilitate the movement of land vehicles between the two countries, improve the efficiency of trans-national transport of goods, and make full use of the current road networks of the two countries.

Vietnam and Laos have seen a growth in transport cooperation since they signed an agreement facilitating cross-border road transport in 2009 and a protocol to implement the deal in 2010.
