The People’s Committee of Binh Phuoc province on March 3 inaugurated the Hoang Dieu-Lapakhe Bordergate in Bu Dop district, which is contiguous to Mundulkiri province of Cambodia.

The upgrade of the bordergate to that of a key, national-level gate will create the conditions for the two provinces in particular and the two countries in general to strengthen friendship and expand co-operation, said Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Truong Tan Thieu.

The import and export of goods, especially agro-forestry and industrial products such as rubber, wheat and ore through the bordergate will become easier, contributing to economic development in border areas, he added.

In the coming time, the two sides will continue upgrading infrastructure around the bordergate, including roads, groundsand warehouses, in order to better serve cross-border commercial activities. (VNA)
