A business forum in Ho Chi Minh City Friday discussed measures to further promote investment in the Southern Economic Corridor and the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia Development Triangle.
About 200 delegates from the three countries, mostly from Vietnam, attended the Mekong Sub-region Investment Cooperation Forum, organized by the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment, in partnership with Vietnam’s Association of Foreign-Invested Enterprises (VAFIE) sand the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia Association for Economic Cooperation Development.
VAFIE chairman Pro. Dr. Nguyen Mai said the Vietnamese Government is encouraging Vietnamese companies to invest in foreign countries, especially in Cambodia and Laos.
“Various enterprises have gained encouraging successes in doing business in the two countries,” said Dr. Mai, a leading investment expert of Vietnam.
The Southern Economic Corridor, shortly known as SEC connects Thailand’s Bangkok, Cambodia’s Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s southern economic hub. The corridor links the Thai capital with many Cambodian towns such as Poipet, Sisophon, Pursat, Neak Leoung and Bavet, through Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau, a strategic city in southern Vietnam which houses important many oil and gas facilities of the country.
Meanwhile, the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia Development Triangle comprises 13 provinces – Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, Rattanakiri and Kratie of Cambodia, Attapeu, Saravan, Sekong and Champassak of Laos, and Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Binh Phuoc of Vietnam.
The triangle area covers 144,600 square kilometers with a population of 6.7 million. The whole area’s socio-economic development level is still low, according to the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment.
Dr. Tran Dinh Thien, chief of the Vietnam Economics Institute, said at the forum that the CLV triangle is still a poor region, so it needs to work out proper policies and visions.
Almost provinces in the triangle are located in mountainous or highland areas. Carrying out cooperation projects in infrastructure development is later than scheduled, according to the ministry. One of things the triangle should do is calling for official development assistance funds from overseas, especially Japan, China and international financial institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank.
Mr. Le Minh Dien, vice director of the ministry’s Department of External Economic Relations, briefed to the forum the outcomes of the 7th meeting of the joint committee of the CLV development triangle, held in Attapeu on Dec. 6-9, 2011.
He said that regarding the forming of a common list of goods having origin in the triangle, Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade in partnership with Lao and Cambodian officials, is building the list of goods enjoying preferential rates in the triangle and the list is to be finished this month.
One of the cooperation directions in the coming time is to continue the work in the preferential mechanism to reduce the customs clearance time and costs of goods crossing the borders.
Dr. Nguyen Minh Phong from the Hanoi Institute of Socio-economic Development, spoke about measures to promote cooperation in the Mekong Sub-region.
The first is to construct shared data system, enhance information about community cooperation in the sub-regional members.
Secondly, it is essential to have more active participation and support from major countries as well as international organizations for subregional cooperation activities.
The third is to develop and maintain a general mechanism to support interests and resolve disagreements timely.
The fourth is to strengthen the relationship of consultation and cooperation with other sub-regions in the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. Le Ngoc Bau from Vietnam’s Central Highlands Agriculture Forestry Science and Technology Institute, said Vietnam has advantages for cooperation in coffee development in Laos.
“Vietnam can share its lessons, experiences and achievements in coffee production with Laos because there are many similarities between the conditions of Boloven Plateau of Laos and the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
“Vietnam has many technical advances in coffee nursery that can be transferred to Laos such as techniques in irrigating and fertilizing coffee trees.

stupid people still think cambodia is under youn rule, i doubt it! maybe stupidity is!
It is amazing that whatever the Vietcong government can think of and the Vietcong government can do especially toward Cambodia! AH HUN SEN as a Vietcong slave has given up the ability to think for himself and let alone think for the whole Cambodia! So now the Vietcong government can dictate every fucken shit over the Khmer head and as if the Khmer people don't give it a damn!
The triangle bullshit cooperation and the stupid economic hub of the Vietcong government is solely for the benefit of Vietnam and only for Vietnam! These fucken Vietcong do good mother fuckers should take their investment somewhere else!
Since 1979 up to 2011 Cambodia under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave had been cooperating with the Vietcong government in all fields to the point that he was willing to sign illegal border treaties to hand over Khmer territory and allow to the influx of million and million of illegal Viet settlers into Cambodia to compete against dirt poor Cambodian people and tell me what have become of Cambodia? It is a fact that the more cooperation that Cambodia has with the Vietcong government and the poorer Cambodia will become! Just take a close look of Cambodia today especially those Cambodian provinces that situated near the Vietnamee border! The whole Cambodia is still a dirt poor and most corrupted country on Earth!
The Vietcong government doesn't need to share their fucken experience with Cambodia! Cambodia have more than enough of the fucken experience with the Vietcong government! These Vietcong need to go home!
Free the Khmer people from the Vietcong government oppression! The Khmer Krom, the Khmer Kandal, and the Khmer Leu...
sometime i think other country's hesitant to invest in cambodia kind of drives cambodia to look elsewhere for investors. in a way, it could be an indirect push for cambodia to look elsewhere, naturally. cambodia says we wait for no one and we mean it, really! the door of investment is open so why are people elsewhere wait for? come to invest in cambodia while it's hot. otherwise, wait forever until the cow comes home, ok! i told you so! it's called life, c'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?
i think only beggars' society do such thing! how about a paradigm shift for a change, cambodia! stop being stupid forever, ok! there are more to cambodia than you and i, ok!
shame!
To 1:56AM
Duh! Of course there are to Cambodia than you and I but you and I have to deal with AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet regime! Tell me how do you do anything under AH HUN SEN regime directed by the Vietcong government that doesn't reflect the interest of the Cambodian people! Yes... there are plenty of investments in Cambodia to go around but not all investments are good investment especially when Cambodian people have to deal with AH HUN SEN jungle law such land grabbing!
By the way the cow won't come home when you don't have the green grass to feed it!
don't forget to vote on the next election, ok! do something to improve the voting method so people can't cheat the election, etc... and the election will say a lot about how the country thinks, ok! god bless cambodia.
no cheating is allowed, ok!
Hun Sen is Youn's slave. The best one for Youn. Because of Hun Sen, Youn now is the final stage for transforming Khmer to Youn base on the same model after Kampuchea Krom. There is no such a think as Khmer, will be just the memory just like Chappa. Either way Hun Sen will be gone. Either Youn will take him out, or since he is so good of transforming KHmer to Youn better than Youn themself do it, Youn may keep him to live long enough for a while. What are we going to do? Just live in a suffering life and what Hun Sen and Youn do whatever until there is no more khmer?
Ah Roleuy Kwack,
The United Nations has spent multi billion dollars trying to make Cambodia an independent state, but you ( Ah Kwack ) decided tu put yourself as Yuon's slave and make Cambodia a satellite for Vietnam.
Ah Lngi Lngeu Kwack,
It is now time for you to free yourself from Vietnam and cooperate with other Khmer Nationalists to remove Vietnam's grip in Cambodia.
Pol Pot.
30 years ago before Pol Pot passed away Pol Pot said:
Indochina Federation of Cambodia & Laos by Vietnam under the disguise of "Friendship Cooperation" to put Laos and Cambodia under yuon annex.
Look back 30 years ago no millions of illegal immigrants in Cambodia ready to vote to ligitimize Hun Sen regime.
In the last few centuries, Khmer people have suffered heavily because of Vietnam's ambition trying to swallow Cambodia.
In order to make its goal materialize, Vietnam has initiated all kinds of trouble with Cambodia.
For example, in the last 50 years, which event that Khmer people suffered without Vietnam's involvement? If Vietnam is not in the front scene, Vietnam would stay behind the scene to generate turbulence in Cambodia.
So, to combat this evil nation Vietnam, we must strengthen our morale and must find a way to provide the proof to the international communities, especially the International Court of Justice, about Vietnam's criminal activities against Khmer people, making Vietnam accountable for its ill acts.
It is imperative that our educated people gather the necessary information and find a way to bring Vietnam to face justice. For instance, the K5 project which imposed by Vietnam, resulting of hundreds of thousands of Khmer people dead, is a typical case that we should use as the first concrete step to make Vietnam pay for its evil deeds.
Vietnam has done horrible things to Khmer people, but we have never done anything to make Vietnam pay for it. That is why Vietnam kept doing bad things to Cambodian people and currently implementing its colonization on Cambodia.
economic sanction doesn't work anymore. it used to works in the past when most countries of the world are still underdeveloped, but nowadays, i doubt that method is working again. so, stop doing economic sanction with cambodia because you only push cambodia to look elsewhere. like going to a dinner buffet, why would you eat only one item, why go in the first place if you're on a diet? you see, same concept here, really! there are many fish in the ocean!
cambodia is still stuck in the 60 s and 70s, cause the people running the government are still from those era!
Nothing will change til these old commie, uneducated, stuborn heads, subvergion to vietcong are all out.
china need to step in and make vietcong small and weak.
or else, vietcong will give china big trouble, in big china.
There is nothing special about Cambodia...It is so true that Cambodia still stuck in the 1960 and the 1970...
don't worry, cambodia, we will enter a new era soon in our country. be patient and get lots of education when you have the opportunity, ok! don't be selfish, help making a lasting difference for khmer people in cambodia by educating everyone about the good life, the many opportunities out there for both genders. god bless cambodia.
no khmer have to live in fear of viet/youn, injustice, dictator, conflict, etc, you know!
