China has started supplying electricity to Vietnam through a cross-border 220 kilovolt power line.

The transmission line was officially inaugurated Tuesday in Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province in southwest China. It's expected to supply 110-130 million kilowatt hours of electricity to Vietnam annually. China Southern Power Grid Company said, the transmission line will go a long way in promoting bilateral economic and trade ties. Another 550 kilovolt transmission line is also being planned. The company is also involved in the building of generation and transmission facilities in Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and other countries in the Mekong River valley.
