Speaking during the recent 20th Cambodia-Japanpublic-private sector meeting,  Secretary of State at this ministry NouSavath said the MPWT minister plans to lead an inter-ministerial working groupto examine another international border gate with Vietnam for containercrossing because the pair of Bavet – Moc Bai border gates is getting heavilycongested.

Cambodia is considering opening a new bordergate, Prey Vor in Cambodia with Binh Hiep in Vietnam, to ease the procedure forboth customs and relevant institutions to reduce the container congestion inBavet, he said.

According to the official, Bavet internationalborder gate used to have between 250 to 300 container trucks crossing a day,but with COVID-19, only 70 go through a day. 

He said the minister will also ask thegovernment to prepare the terminal for containers to ease the traffic jam,adding: “We also want to prepare different lines for different goods containersand empty containers and we also have to prepare a line for passengers andsmall goods as well.”

Bilateral trade between Cambodia and Vietnamdropped 8.1 percent year-on-year to 2.17 billion USD in the first five monthsof 2020 on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to figures from the VietnameseEmbassy in Phnom Penh./.
