PHNOM PENH – Cambodia’s Ministry of the Interior wants to open two more border gates to Viet Nam, the ministry’s spokesman Khieu Sopheak recently announced.
Opening more border gates should help attract investment, generate jobs, reduce the migration of job seekers into the cities, help eradicate hunger and alleviate poverty for border residents, according to Sopheak.
Sopheak said the ministry would propose that the Government open the border gates of Labakhe and Nam Lieu, both in Mondulkiri Province, which shares a border with Viet Nam’s southern province of Binh Phuoc.
The ministry said the new border gates should help turn the border area into major industrial zones, helping to raise incomes for local residents via investment and commodities export between the two countries, he said.
Cambodian localities sharing the land border with Viet Nam made remarkable efforts in managing border gates, contributing to security and facilitating travel for local residents, according to the spokesman.
The ministry also asked the Cambodian Government to upgrade the Prechak [KI-Media: Prek Chak] national border gate in Kampot Province and the Ozadao [KI-Media: O'Sdao] national border gate in Ratanakiri Province into international border gates and to also construct the Ton Lon national border gate in Kampot Province and look at opening other border gates.
Cambodia now has 64 border gates, with 60 border gates managed by cities and provinces, and four international gates.
Opening more border gates should help attract investment, generate jobs, reduce the migration of job seekers into the cities, help eradicate hunger and alleviate poverty for border residents, according to Sopheak.

Please, say no more, just go full speed and don't look back.
it's good to establish border gates and town all along the border because the local can sell food stuff and make some money with tourists. plus, it'll be good for border demarcation landmarks. good businessess!
Yeah..that's what all the Viet/Yuon say...coz they gotnothing to loose.
Go home Viet/Yuon, now! Leave Khmer people alone!
I can't believe that AH Khieu Sopheak speaks like he is an economist and before AH Khieu Sopheak jump the gun and he better provide some proof for his claim!
Opening more Cambodian borders to the Vietcong is like opening the flood gate to Vietcong influence and I pray to God that AH Khieu Sopheak has the power to stop the Vietcong!
The case study would be the Cambodian border opening at Bavet to the Vietcong and the Vietcong are pouring into Cambodia none stop and especially Cambodian border guards are so corrupted the Vietcong were able to get away with everything!
Yeah, and I bet you got all of your data from Ah Khmer-Yuon Institute of America or something along that line, right?
To 2:23PM
I had been to Cambodian-Vietcong border and I observed everything!
I don't know what data you are talking about fool!
Well then you must be on crack and hallucinating things, 12:53.
