Vietnam has opened an international border gate in central highlands Gia Lai province, bordering Cambodia's Ratanakiri province, local newspaper Vietnam News reported Monday.
The border gate, coming into operational last weekend, is expected to facilitate trade activities in the two countries' border areas and cement the ties of their residents.
The gate's establishment is also expected to help create a breakthrough for the stronger growth of a development triangle which encompasses some localities of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, said the newspaper.
Ten out of Vietnam's 64 cities and provinces border nine localities of Cambodia.
Trade between the Vietnam and Cambodia, increasing to 900 million U.S. dollars in 2006 from 117 million U.S. dollars in 1998, is expected to reach two billion U.S. dollars in 2010, according to the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade. |
