Construction of Vietnam-Cambodia border market begins
Construction of a Vietnam-Cambodia border market, the first of its kind, commenced at the border between Tay Ninh province of Vietnam and Kompong Cham province of Cambodia on January 8.
A ceremony to mark the occasion was organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Tay Ninh People’s Committee and the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce.
