Opening Session
4.
Dr. Siriphan Jitprasithsiri, Chair, welcomed the participants. She noted that great strides
in building connectivity among GMS countries have been taken in the last several years. She
stated that the major GMS corridors are largely completed and cited the example of the Chiang
Khong-Houayxay International Mekong Bridge along the North South Economic Corridor
(NSEC), which is about to be completed and will complete the last missing link along the NSEC.
With the improvements in transport infrastructure, increase in trade and tourism have followed.
She reiterated the importance of STF-17, as it would review and agree on a final pipeline of the
new generation of transport projects for the next 5-10 years; to succeed the transport pipeline
under the Vientiane Plan of Action (VPOA)(2008-2012). The new pipeline would be presented
to the transport Ministers and other high-level transport officials during the secodn day of the
forum. Moreover, the participants would also have the chance to visit a symbol of the successful
cooperation among GMS countries in establishing greater connectivity, namely, the NSEC
bridge at Chiang Khong-Houayxay.
5.
Mr. James Lynch, Co-Chair, in his opening statement, said that transport will remain the
the prime sector of GMS cooperation under the new RIF. Based on an initial review of the
investment needs, the transport sector will account for 70%-80% of the RIFs total investment
requirements, roughly the same share of investments of the transport sector in the GMS
Program to date. He also gave a brief background on the process of preparing the pipeline,
noting that it is the result of a combination of a sector assessment and extensive consultations
with GMS countries, including a number of in-country meetings and workshops. He further
noted that the pipeline is consistent with the new GMS Strategic Frameworks focus on
broadening and deepening of GMS corridors, and includes, apart from traditional transport
infrastructure projects, more novel ones, such as the establishment of multi-modal and intermodal transport links, including access to gateway ports. The RIF pipeline also includes
important complementary systems and services, such as improved border crossing facilities and
various types of logistics-related services. However, he stated that the proposed pipeline is still
a work-in-progress, and the main purpose of STF-17 is to further refine the pipeline; make it
leaner and more effective in realizing the strategic goals for the sector. The further refined
pipeline would then be presented at the Fifth GMS Economic Corridors Forum in Bangkok. (A
copy of his statement is in Appendix 3).

The GMS delegations presented their respective countries proposed RIF transport
sector pipelines. The presentations were given by the following participants: (i) Mr.Vasim Sorya,
Director General, Planning and Administration, Ministry of Public Works and Transport,
Cambodia; (ii) Ms. Hu Nan, Official, Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of
Transport, PRC; (iii) Mr. Math Sounmala, Director General, Department of Planning and
Cooperation, Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Lao PDR; (iv) H.E. U Win Myint, Deputy
Minister, Ministry of Construction, Myanmar; (v) Mr. Karn Sinseubpol, Department of Highways,
Ministry of Transport, Thailand; and (vi) Mr. Nguyen Van Thach, Deputy Director General,
International Cooperation Department, Ministry of Transport, Viet Nam. (The GMS delegations
respective country presentations are in Appendices 4-A to 4-F).
Discussions:
7.
On the Cambodia pipeline, in response to a question (from Viet Nam) regarding plans
for road connections from OYadav to Ratanakiri as part of the ASEAN Highway Network (AHN)
and on railway and expressway connections between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City,
Cambodian delegation responded that (i) as part of the Southern Economic Corridor and also
eventually as part of the AHN, the road will be constructed from OYadav-Stung to Treng-Preah
Vihear-Siem Reap, and (ii) there is private sector interest (PRC and Republic of Korea) for the
construction of an expressway from Phnom Penh to HCMC, although this is only at preminary
study stage..
8.
In response to a question (from Lao PDR), regarding any plan to connect Ratanakiri to
Attapeu, Cambodia responded that there is a project under the Mekong-Japan program for
Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Viet Nam (CLMV countries) for a road connection Ratanakiri in
Cambodia to Road 19 in Viet Nam; also, there is a plan to connect Cambodia to Viet Nam
through Mondulkiri up to Banlung and to the border with Viet Nam. Cambodia also informed that
they have formed an inter-agency working group for these road connection projects but that
there has been some delay in convening the working group.
2
9.
On the PRC pipeline, in response to several questions regarding other possible railway
lines, PRC delegation responded that PRC had three programs for connecting with
ASEAN/Singapore-Kunming Rail Link (SKRL), namely, the eastern route, the middle route and
the western route. The eastern route is almost complete and expected to be completed this
year; the middle route is being addressed through the Yuxi-Mohan railway project (but there are
no plans yet for a Yuxi-Daluo line); and for the western route, they are just in the initial stages,
including the Dali-Ruili line.
10.
On the Luang Namtha-Xiengkok road project and the Xiengkok (Lao PDR)-Kainglap
(Myanmar) Bridge in the Lao PDR pipeline, Lao and Viet Nam delegation expressed strong
support for the project, which is intended as part of the proposed ASEAN-India Highway and
also known as the trilateral Highway connecting Viet Nam, Northern Lao PDR, and Myanmar.
Lao PDR stated, however, that the bilateral agreement on this proposed bridge has not yet been
concluded, and noted that without this agreement the full potential of the bridge could not be
realized.
11.
Relatedly, countries emphasized the importance of accelerating the signing and/or
ratification, and implementation of the various agreements on the facilitation of cross border
transport, including the remaining annexes of the GMS Cross Border Transport Agreement
(CBTA).
III.
12.
The Co-Chair explained that the session will serve to further review and refine the
individual country pipelines, with the purpose of ensuring that the overall synthesized and
consolidated RIF pipeline that will emerge is characterized by consistency, manageability,
practicability and implementability. He introduced Mr. John Cooney, ADB consultant, who has
extensive experience in the GMS transport sector and has undertaken a review and
consolidation of the various pipelines, with a view to their further rationalization and
simplification.
13.
Mr. Cooney led the review of the country pipelines including: the nature of the project, its
appropriate title, its projected timeline, its estimated cost, and its priority ranking (i.e., high,
medium, low). It was explained that the cost estimate is based on best available information and
may change as project design proceeds. The countries gave their comments as each project
was discussions until an agreed final entry for the project was reached. The RIF pipeline,
incorprating the revisions agreed upon during the discussions would be presented to the
transport ministers and high-level officials in the pertinent session of the meeting on the
following day.
IV.
14.
Mr. Newin Sinsiri, Principal Regional Cooperation Specialist, Southeast Asia Regional
Cooperation and Operations Coordination Division, ADB, briefed the meeting on the RIF, its
nature, purpose, and the processes involved in its preparation, with particular focus on its
bearing on the transport sector. He also apprised the participants on the next steps involved
toward the final endorsement and adoption of the overall RIF pipeline. The transport pipeline
emerging from STF-17, together with other RIF sector pipelines, would be presented at the
upcoming Fifth Economic Corridors Forum (ECF-5) in Bangkok on 7 August 2013, including the
3
Senior Officials Meeting-RIF Steering Committee Meeting (SOM-RIF) preceding it. The
presentation at ECF-5 is intended to obtain further strategic guidance and in-principle
agreement from this ministerial level meeting. The RIF pipeline, thus further refined, would be
finally presented to and endorsed by the 19th GMS Ministerial Conference in Vientiane, Lao
PDR in December 2013. (A copy of his presentation is in Appendix 5.)
15.
Wrap Up of First Days Sessions. The Co-Chair wrapped up the first day of the Forum,
saying that the proposed pipelines reflect the countries continued emphasis on establishing
greater connectivity among themselves. In this regard, it seemed that it was only to be expected
that Lao PDR had the biggest number of proposed projects, given its desire to transform itself
from a land-locked to land-linked country. There was, however, also a realization that there is
a need to carefully prioritize projects given the huge financial requirements and the need to
achieve the best connectivity results. There was also a clear message from the countries on the
need to improve the soft components of transport development, particularly those that facilitate
cross-border transport and trade, including accelerating the implementation of the GMS CBTA,
as well as setting up and strenthening pertinent institutions. Also of crucial importance is the
transfer of knowledge between countries on transport system development. He further noted
that for full connectivity to be established, there must be agreement and coordination between
countries, and often soft components of connectivity are even more important than infrastructure
connectivity.
Day 2 Proceedings: 1 August 2013
V.
16.
The Co-Chair, gave a presentation on the status of the initiative toward the
establishment of the proposed GMRA. He provided a background of the GMRA, based on a key
recommendation of the Strategic Framework for Connecting GMS Railways1; its purpose to
work toward the integration of railways across the GMS; its key functions and overall mission;
the steps taken so far toward its establishment; the key agreements to establish GMRA as a
non-legal intergovernmental forum under the GMS Program; as well as the outstanding issues
regarding the establishment of the GMRA. It was envisioned that consensus on the final MOU to
Establish the GMRA (after further discussion at STF-17) would be reached in August, countries
would confirm by September of the readiness of their authorized signatories to sign the MOU at
the 19th GMS Ministerial Conference (19th MC) in December, endorsement by the 19th MC of the
establishment of the GMRA and signing of the MOU at the 19th MC, and finalization/approval of
the the TA (Building Institutional Capacity of the GMRA) under which ADB will provide funding
for the first 2 years of the GMRAs operations. (A copy of his presentation is in Appendix 6.)
17.
He then led the participants in further reviewing the latest draft of the MOU to establish
the GMRA. (A copy of the latest draft MOU is in Appendix 7). The country delegations gave
the following comments:
PRC proposed changes in specific articles and paragraphs of the MOU, as follows:
The Strategic Framework for Connecting the GMS Railways was endorsed at the Greater Mekong
Subregion (GMS) Ministerial Meeting in Hanoi in August 2010.
VI.
18.
H.E. Chadchart Sittipunt, Minister of Transport of Thailand delivered a keynote address
to the meeting. He outlined the Thai governments Baht 2 trillion, or $67 billion, transport
infrastructure development program over 7 years, noting that enhancing connectivity with the
GMS and the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is a key component strategy of the program.
Connectivity is a major growth engine, as reflected by the increases in border trade between
Thailand and its neighbors as a result of improved connectivity. A large part of the program is
railway development, including high speed trains, as well as the rail components of Mass Rapid
Transit systems. Among the important railway projects are the double tracking of existing
networks as well as new double track systems, including the Denchai-Chiang Rai-Chiang Kong
5
railway and the BanPai-Mukdahan-Nakorn Panom railway. The program also includes the
upgrading to 4-lane highways of key sections of road corridors, including the Mukdahan to Mae
Sot highway along the EWEC. It also includes mutimodal transport improvements, including
ports and inland waterway transport. He said that transport cooperation through the STF is
importrant and, in particular, cooperation in rail transport is crucial, and this is true not just for
infrastructure development but also in terms of operations and the related software
development. He said that Thailand is supporting the establishment of the GMRA. (A copy of his
presentation on the Thai Governments Transport Infrastructure Development Program is in
Appendix 7).
VII.
Session 5. Presentation of the New GMS Transport Sector Pipeline to the
GMS Transport Ministers/Senior Officials
19.
The Co-Chair, presented to the Ministers, Vice Minister, and Heads of Delegation who
were present at the meeting the pipeline of transport projects under the RIF resulting from the
discussions of the previous day. (A copy of his presentation is in Appendix 8).
Discussions:
20.
Minister Chadchart Sittipunt expressed appreciation for the pipeline presented, noting
that when all the country pipelines are put together, they should create one unified vision for
regional connectivity. He observed, however, that there is a tendency in preparing a pipeline to
look at only the supply side, but it would be useful if we can also superimpose the demand
side. He further explained this by citing the differences among various corridors in terms of the
potential to generate trade and investments. Adding, it is quite clear that the Southern Economic
Corridor holds greater potentials in terms of giving rise to substantial economic activity,
including the development of the Special Economic Zones around the Dawei Port area.
21.
Mr. Lynch agreed with the need to also look at the demand side. He further stated that
when the pipeline was being prepared, it was impressed upon the countries that many factors
would have to be considered in identifying the projects for inclution. It was worth noting that the
pipeline preparation also resulted in the identification of second generation projects, such as
multimodal and intermodal transport connectivity and the development of logistics and crossborder facilities. Also, the pipeline preparation brought to the fore the need to look at soft issues,
such as the need to put in place and accelerate the implementation of measures to facilitate
cross border transport and trade.
VII.
22.
Mr. Ronald Antonio Q. Butiong, Principal Regional Cooperation Specialist, Regional
Cooperation and Operations Coordination Division, South Asia Department, ADB gave a
presentation on Connecting South Asia and Southeast Asia. In his presentation, he raised the
following key points: (i) improving South Asia-Southeast Asia connectivity is a viable proposition
as it would expand markets and production networks, and the opening up of Myanmar provided
a strong impetus to these efforts, as the country could provide a land link between the two
subregions; (ii) the GMS Program and the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation
(SASEC) Program could accelerate connectivity between the two subregions, as both are
pragmatic and results-oriented cooperation programs. However, there is a need to better
coordinate the project pipelines of the two programs, and ADB as Secretariat to both could play
an important role in this regard. As an example ADB will provide assistance to India in
upgrading a section of Asian Highway 2 in Northeast India connecting to the Trilateral Highway
6
in Myanmar, which is being supported by the governments of India, Myanmar and Thailand and
which would connect to the GMS EWEC. (A copy of his presentation is in Appendix 9).
VIII.
23.
Mr. Irfan Rahim, Chief, Transport Infrastructure Section, Transport Division, United
Nations Economic & Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), expressed
appreciation for the many achievements of the GMS Program in the transport sector and for the
strong cooperation that the GMS countries have shown. He said that UNESCAP supports and is
strongly committed to enhancing transport connectivity in the region and is actively pursuing
key initiatives in this regard, such as the Asian Highway Network and the Trans Asian Railway.
UNESCAP will continue to be a partner of the GMS countries as they pursue their connectivity
development initiatives into the future.
24.
Ms. Hataitat Mahasukon, Director, Policy and Planning Bureau, Neighbouring Countries
Economic Development Agency (NEDA) of Thailand, congratulated the GMS countries for the
successful meeting as well as for the good results of their cooperation in the transport sector.
She noted that NEDA has been providing assistance to countries for their pursuit of
infrastructure projects that strengthen the links among them. She said that NEDA will continue
their support to promoting connectivity in the region.
IX.
Other Matters
25.
In line with the tradition of rotating the venue of the STF among the GMS members
according to the alphabetical order of country names, the Viet Nam delegation said that they be
pleased to host the Eighteenth Meeting of the GMS Subregional Transport Forum (STF-18) in
2014, although the specific city venue and dates would be determined at a later date.
X.
Closing
26.
The Chair and Co-Chair noted that the meeting was successful and achieved its
intended results, with broad agreement having been reached on the new pipeline of transport
projects under the RIF. They thanked the participants for their active participation in the
meeting. The delegations from the GMS countries and the ADB thanked the host, the Royal
Thai Government, for the hospitality accorded to the participants as well as the excellent
arrangements for the Seventeenth Meeting of the Subregional Transport Forum. The Chair

Opening Statement
By
Department of International
During our discussions, we will also try to review the progress on key
ongoing or pending transport sector projects. Although these projects will
no longer be part of the new pipeline, it is important that we continue to
monitor them since they will contribute to overall connectivity in the GMS.
In addition to our key objective of finalizing the transport sector pipeline, we
will also have the opportunity to explore possible ways of linking the GMS
with South Asia, a strategic thrust of both the RIF, and the earlier GMS
Transport Sector Strategy for 2006 to 2015. Furthermore, we aim to reach
a final agreement on the Memorandum of Understanding for establishing
the Greater Mekong Railway Association, or GMRA, so that the MOU can
be finally signed at the 19th GMS Ministerial Conference in Vientiane in
December.
As we all know, transport is the prime sector of GMS cooperation, and is
expected to remain so in this new decade. We have taken a look at the
initial investment needs of the overall RIF, and found that the transport
sector accounts for 70%-80% of the RIFs total investment requirements,
roughly the same share of investments captured by the transport sector in
the GMS Program to date.
I dont want to get ahead of the story that will unfold as we review the
country level transport pipelines during the meeting, but let me just say that
the new pipelines are consistent with the new GMS Strategic Frameworks
focus on broadening and deepening of GMS corridors, and capturing
opportunities to address emerging trends. The pipelines still include
traditional transport infrastructure projects that, for instance, fill the
remaining gaps along the transport corridors. But the pipelines also include
more novel projects, such as the establishment of multi-modal and intermodal transport links, including access to gateway ports, as well as
important complementary infrastructure and services, such as improved
border
crossing
facilities
and
various
types
of
logistics-related
infrastructure.
Needless to say, the overall transport sector pipeline is still work-inprogress. We need to use the next two days to further refine the pipeline,
and make it leaner and more effective in realizing our strategic goals for
this key sector in GMS development. Looking down the road, we of course
realize that the purpose of the STF is not simply to define a pipeline of
projects, but also to oversee their implementation into the future. We must,
therefore, ensure that we have a manageable and implementable
investment program.
Your Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:
We certainly have a full, exciting and challenging agenda ahead of us. But
with the STFs track record of practical, positive and productive responses
to many challenges, I am confident that we will be successful in our efforts.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all of you for joining us in Chiang Rai,
and I sincerely appreciate Thailands gracious hosting of this landmark 17th
GMS Subregional Transport Forum.
I look forward to a very fruitful Forum. Thank you.

The Royal Government will continue to accord high priority to the maintenance of
national roads, the reconstruction of provincial and rural roads, the expansion of
ports and the rehabili-tation of railways, also in order to connect to the rail network
of the neighboring countries within the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS)
framework. The Royal Government will encourage private sector participation in the
rehabilitation of infrastructure and in transportation services.
In addition, ASEAN economic integration is coming on in 2015 and the management
of cross border transportation is also becoming to an urgent task. The agreement
and management of transit vehicles should be activated and managed more
appropriately.
Logistics system composes from hardware, software and human ware. To improve
an international logistics with neighbor countries is the most urgent issues facing
ASEAN Economic Integration in 2015. Poor infrastructure, high cost including in
visible fee, and inefficient procedure should be justified urgently and a IT single
window system for logistics EDI and custom clearance should be installed.

Role of Transport
in Lao PDRs Development Plans
Play a key role for the Government to meet MDG by 2015 and support
its effort to graduate from the LDC by the year 2020 by focusing its
investment to improve the hardware and software components of the
Land Transport, which is the dominant mode of transport and has been
recognized as the spearhead of the NSED for the following reasons:
1) Access for the people to public services and markets.
2) Integration the national economy with the region.
3) People to People connectivity
4) Physical connectivity internally and internationally in land
transportation with the Sub-region and to deep seaports.
