Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang has signed a decision approving the planning of border gates on the Vietnam - Cambodia land border for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.

Under the planning, in the period of 2021-2030, Vietnam will open and upgrade 9 international border gates, 8 main border gates and 10 secondary border gates on the land border with Cambodia. It is expected that by 2030, the Vietnam - Cambodia border line will have 60 border gates, including 20 international border gates, 14 pairs of main border gates and 26 secondary border gates.

In Tay Ninh province alone, the pair of Chang Riec (Tay Ninh) - Dar (Tboung Khmum) border gate will be upgraded to international level. The Hoa Hiep border gate (Tay Ninh) - Khse Dek (Svay Rieng) will become a secondary border gate pair.
