(VOVworld) – More than 200 representatives from ministries, related sectors, and businesses operating in trade, services, investment, and tourism with Cambodia attended an international seminar held on Friday to promote trade at Tay Ninh border gate.
Nguyen Cam Tu, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, said: "Border trade between Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia has seen vigorous growth over the years, attracting many businesses in various fields. With such rapid development, trade among these countries is expected to contribute to lifting the Vietnam-Laos trade turnover to 2 billion USD and that of Vietnam and Cambodia to 5 billion USD by 2015. It’s important to effectively exploit the infrastructure connecting the 3 countries, especially roads, in order to promote border trade."
Delegates focused their discussions on ways to boost border trade between Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos through the route connecting Tay Ninh with the other two countries. They debated measures to increase investment in imports and exports, services, tourism, and ways to expand business cooperation in the future.
