Background
In April 2017 the governments of Vietnam and Laos agreed to built a pipeline that would connect the Hon La Oil Stockpile in Hon La Harbour in Vietnam’s Quang Binh province to Laos’s Khammuan province.[1] The Oil Stockpile was planned to be built by 2020 and the pipeline by 2024.[2] Since 2017, there has been no further news about the project and it appears to be cancelled.
