The Central Highlands province of Dak Nong is carrying out a VND 103 billion (US $6.4 million) programme on building two economic zones bordering the Cambodian province of Muldukiri.

Starting from 2006, the province has built infrastructure such as roads, electric and telecommunication networks and markets at BuPrang and Dak Per border gates in Tuy Duc and Dak Mil districts, respectively.

The programme is aimed at expanding regional economic exchanges, contributing to socio-economic development in the economic development triangle of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, helping connect Cambodia’s northeastern region to the East Sea, and boosting friendship and economic cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia.

Vietnam and Cambodia began planting a border marker between Vietnam’s Central Highlands province of Dak Nong and Cambodia’s Mondulkiri province yesterday. That was the first to be erected between the two provinces along the 130 km borderline. The two provinces plan to plant eight markers by the end of the year.
