Hanoi (VNA)- Sustainable development, long-lasting friendship and political security with China , Laos and Cambodia are focus of a recent master-plan on border gate economy development until 2020.
The scheme, that was approved by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on April 25, clarifies that there will be additional seven border-gate economic zones up to 2020, bringing their total number to 30 by the end of the next decade.
It calls for construction of a systematic infrastructure, management mechanism and policies towards nine major border economic zones in an effort to increase the gross import-export revenues of commodities and services with neighbouring countries across border-gates up to 43 billion USD by 2020.
The nine target border-gate economic zones are Mong Cai, Lao Cai, Lang Son in the north, the special economic zone of Lao Bao and another central border-gate economic zone of Cau Treo, the largest border economic zones of Bo Y in the Central Highalnds and Moc Bai, An Giang and Dong Thap in the south.
These border-gate economic zones will help strengthen international cooperation and attract domestic and foreign investment into the country, emphasised the master-plan.--Enditem
