New economic corridor linking Vietnam to Cambodia opens

The inauguration ceremony was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister Ke Kim Yan of Cambodia along with a host of dignitaries and high-level members of the national and local governments from both countries.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Dung said the roadway would bring huge benefits for the country and reflects the Vietnam government’s vision of a bright and prosperous well-connected region.

The roadway, linking the border gates of Le Thanh in Gia Lai, Vietnam and O Ya Dav in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, is vital, he said, and will serve to bolster commercial trade between the two countries.

The Deputy Prime Minister who has considerable observation and experience with development projects noted the quality of the roadway and was appreciative that is has been constructed consistent with the highest of international standards.
