Vietnamese Minister of Planning and Investment Vo Hong Phuc, Cambodian Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh and Lao Minister of Planning and Investment Sinlavong Khouphaythoune heard a report on the amendments of a masterplan on socio-economic development of the triangle.
The conference adopted the results of a project to upgrade the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia development triangle website with new Khmer and Lao language versions.
The masterplan which was approved by the three countries’ Prime Ministers at a summit held in Vientiane, Laos, in November, 2004 included ten provinces, namely Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Dak Nong provinces of Vietnam; Sekong, Attapu, Saravan provinces of Laos and Stung Treng, Rattanakirri and Mondulkiry provinces of Cambodia.
Under the amended plan, the development triangle now includes Binh Phuoc province of Vietnam, Kratie province of Cambodia and Champak province of Laos.
The plan was amended with growth forecasts, sector development directions and economic structure and investment priority projects for 2020.
