Senate President: New Cambodia-Vietnam International Border Gate in Prey Veng to Further Boost Bilateral Trade
AKP Phnom Penh, July 03, 2025 --
Cambodian Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has expressed hope that the leaders of Cambodia and Vietnam will soon inaugurate a newly constructed international border gate located in Meun Chey village, Krabao commune, Kamchay Mear district, Prey Veng province.
Speaking this morning at a gathering with students and teachers at the Kamchay Mear Education and Training Centre, Samdech Techo Hun Sen stated that the new Cambodia–Vietnam Meun Chey International Border Gate will help further promote trade and people-to-people connectivity between the two neighbouring countries.
He noted that bilateral trade between Cambodia and Vietnam has already reached US$5 billion, and both sides have now set a new target of around US$20 billion. The new international border gate, he underlined, will play a key role in achieving this goal.
“Previously, we imported more from Vietnam, but now we are moving toward balanced trade. In fact, last year, our exports to Vietnam exceeded our imports,” he added.
