Vietnam’s Long An International Port has the potential to become an important trade bridge between Vietnam and Cambodia as well as a convenient international border gate through which foreign goods will enter and leave Cambodia, a Cambodian official has commented.
Governor of the Cambodian province of Svay Rieng Peng Posa was speaking after a tour of the seaport on Thursday, as part of his working visit to Long An, a province in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region, to promote cooperation between the two bordering provinces.
Situated in Tan Tap Commune, Can Giuoc District, the port holds a favorable geographical position that is envisioned to be developed not only as a significant trade hub for goods between the two countries but also as a convenient transit port for commoditities traveling between other countries and Cambodia, remarked the governor.
The port should therefore be transformed into an international border gate for trade soon, Posa suggested.
Once the port operates as expected, it will contribute to boosting trade between Vietnam and Cambodia as well as between Cambodia and its international partners, he added.
Posa said relevant agencies of the two provinces will jointly conduct a survey of the port to develop it in that manner and will report the results to the authorities of both sides for consideration and approval.
