Phu Cua int’l cross border check-point inaugurated

Vietnam’s Central Highland province of Kon Tum held an inauguration ceremony for a cross-border check-point at the Phu Cua International Border Gate of Laos on July 9.

The Phu Cua International Border Gate has been built since 2009 at a cost of over 29.5 billion VND funded by the Vietnamese government to Laos as a non-refundable aid.

The work will contribute to strengthening the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, as well as promoting the development of economy, trade, tourism and services between Kon Tum and Attapeu provinces of Laos, and among provinces in the development triangle of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia.

Earlier, the Bo Y-Phu Cua border gate was upgraded into international border gate on January 18, 2008.
