Two planned frontier markets in Svay Rieng and Kampot provinces have yet to break ground, relevant provincial authorities said on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered the Ministry of Commerce to work with Svay Rieng and Kampot officials to build two additional border markets in a bid to shore up border trade and enhance cooperation with Cambodia’s neighbour Vietnam.
Kampot settles on location
Kampot provincial governor Cheav Tay told The Post on Tuesday that provincial authorities and ministry officials had settled on a site near the Prek Chak International Border Checkpoint in southeastern Kampong Trach district’s southwestern Russey Srok Khang Lech commune, across from Vietnam’s Kien Giang province.
He voiced his confidence that the border market would provide a substantial impetus for goods exchange between Cambodians and Vietnamese.
