Hoanh Mo– Dongzhong border gate pair is operational

The launch ceremony of the border gate pair was jointly held by the People’s Committee of Quang Ninh province of Viet Nam and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China.

The border gate pair is expected to help reduce travel time and costs for businesses.

Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee Vu Van Dien said that the opening of the border gate pair will create an important premise for the two sides to put forth plans, upgrade infrastructure and attract investment, while facilitating immigration and trade, and stepping up people-to-people exchanges.

The two sides were urged to closely cooperate to finalize planning and management, and invest in infrastructure and equipment at the border gate pair, contribute to local socio-economic development, and enhance practical, mutually beneficial cooperation between the localities.

Over the last five years, total import-export turnover of goods passing through the border gate pair reach over US$80 million annually. Major import and export items are agricultural and forestry products, garments, tiles, food additives, furniture, auto parts, and consumer goods.

The Hoanh Mo Border Gate hosts the exchange of such products as rattan, cinnamon, pepper, cashew nuts, dried jackfruit, longan, and dried tea, and shoes, and auto parts and accessories./.
