Vietnam Net Bridge | 19 April 2016
Buon Ma Thuot city of Vietnam's Dak Lak province which is located in the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam development triangle area.
Officials from the three
countries are to focus on resolving remaining difficulties and obstacles to
soon reach consensus on clauses and finalise the agreement on schedule as set
by leaders of the three countries.
The agreement is expected to
boost trade activities and goods movement among 13 provinces in the triangle of
the three countries.
Officials also hope the deal
will allow relevant localities to make full use of their potential and
advantages as well as promote economic cooperation and investment in the
development triangle in particular and the three countries in general.
The CLV
Development Triangle Area covers four Cambodian provinces (Ratanakiri, Stung
Treng, Mondulkiri, Kratie) [all border provinces, sparsely populated,
formerly forested], four Lao provinces (Attapeu, Salavan, Sekong, Champasak), and five
Vietnamese provinces (Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Binh Phuoc)
These
provinces are rich in natural resources and boast advantages for agricultural
and forestry development.
However, underdeveloped infrastructure
has limited trade and development in the area.
The fourth negotiation round
will last through April 20.
