THE Guangxi provincial government will launch a road transport service from Bose to Kopin in Vietnam this year, which is to be the first international service of its kind in the autonomous region, reports Xinhua.

Currently, cargo and passengers moving between the two need to be transferred at the checkpoints. The new service will change this way to a direct transport style.

China's transport ministry has approved the cargo service running from Bose, across Jingxi and Longban checkpoint within the China border, to Tralinh checkpoint and Kopin in Vietnam.

The new service will become the 28th international service carrying passenger and cargo for Guangxi to build in the future. Guangxi has 10 services of this kind operating at present.
