Cambodia and Viet Nam on July 19 held a ceremony to open the international border gates of Le Thanh - Oyadav in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai and the neighbouring Cambodian province of Ratanakiri to traffic.
Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung lauded the efforts made by sides involved to facilitate vehicles travelling between the two border gates as previously agreed by two countries.
The opening marks a new period of socio-economic development and cultural exchange for the two countries and contributes to turning the border into an area of peace and cooperation, Mr. Dung added.
Dung asked the two governments to work closely together in facilitating and managing movements through the border line to ensure safety and security.
The new border crossing comes under the Road Transportation Agreement between the two countries, which aims to facilitate 500 vehicles to travel through seven pairs of international border gates, including the Le Thanh – Oyadav border gates.
