The model aims to minimize the amount of paperwork one has to complete

The model aims to minimize the number of offices one has to visit and the amount of paperwork one has to complete at the international border gates in Lao Bao and Densavan. The model is scheduled to have a trial run next January.

The Deputy PM said a number of problems could hinder implementation of the model as the two countries have not been able to sign an agreement on the procedures and certificates of medical quarantine or customs papers. The infrastructure and customs facilities at border gates are still inadequate, he said. Phuc urged the province to mobilize human resources for the model, promising that if necessary, the Government will give the province additional support.

Noting that the OSS model makes it easier for people to travel and transport goods, Phuc said the province should keep a close eye on smuggling, trade fraud, and drug and human trafficking across the border.
