On March 30, 2008, the Chinese Government and the Government of Laos signed an exchange of letters regarding the North Section of Pakmong-Nateuy Highway (No. 13) Extension Project. China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) issued a $15.7 million grant (captured in Record ID#64756) and a $14.7 million interest-free loan (Record ID#64757) in support of the project. The purpose of the project was to restore a 78.8 km stretch of No. 13 Road (NR13) that runs from the Nam Ko bridge in the city of Muang Xay within Oudomxay Province (at K86+000) to the village of Nateuy in Luang Prabang Province (at K164+776.765). China Railway Third Survey and Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. was the contractor responsible for project design.

Staff comments

This project is also known as the North Section of Pak Mong-Na Teuy Highway (No. 13) Restoration Project. The Chinese project title is 老挝纳堆-巴蒙公路北段修复项目 or 老挝纳堆--巴蒙公路北段修复项目 or 对13号公路纳堆至勐赛段进行了修复 or 老挝的纳堆至巴蒙公路北段修复项目. The total cost of the project was RMB 270 million and the MOFCOM grant and interest-free loan were likely denominated in RMB. However, AidData has only identified USD estimates of the monetary values of the grant and interest-free loan.
