The Vietnamese government has instructed some provinces bordering Cambodia to upgrade their border gates to boost trade and business between the two countries.

A directive signed by Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Khiem calls for the checkpoints in the central highlands province of Gia Lai and southern provinces of Dong Thap and Kien Giang to be upgraded from national to international level.

Three others in Dak Lak, Long An, and Kien Giang provinces will be elevated to national-level checkpoints.

Two new local facilities are to be opened, one in Tay Ninh province and the other in Binh Phuoc province.

Last year Vietnam’s exports to Cambodia were worth $780 million, mainly of clothes, electrical cables, domestic plastic products, noodles, and electronic spare parts.

It imported rubber, forest, and agricultural products worth around $170 million from Cambodia.

Vietnam-Cambodia trade is expected to grow by 27 percent annually to reach US$2.45 billion by 2010.

Meanwhile, at a conference in Vung Tau city Thursday, Vietnamese and Cambodian health officials agreed to cooperate on border quarantine control to check the spread of contagious diseases like bird flu and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS.
