Vietnam, Cambodia to open three more border gates


Vietnam and Cambodia will open the last three border gates of the seven international ones at the beginning of next year under an agreement on road transportation between the two countries.
At an annual conference between the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam and the Cambodian General Department of Transport on December 27 in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, the two sides agreed to open the border gates of Le Thanh (Gia Lai) – Oyadav (Andong Pich-Rattanakiri), Hoa Lu (Binh Phuoc) – Trapeang Sre (Snoul-Kratie) and Bu Prang (Dak Nong)- O Raing (Mundulkiri).

Over the years, the two countries have effectively carried out the agreement to ensure the flow of traffic through the border gates between Tay Ninh province of Vietnam and Svay Rieng province of Cambodia. They have recently opened three border gates linking Tay Ninh and Kampong Cham, An Giang and Takeo, and Kien Giang and Lork-Kam Pot.

Leaders from the two ministries of transport also signed an agreement to double the number of vehicles through border gates to boost bilateral trade with the aim of raising two-way trade by 40 percent to US$2billion in the near future.
