The central coastal province of Quang Nam has decided to invest nearly 1.4 trillion VND (78.4 million USD) to build infrastructure in a bid to bring into full play the strength of its key economic region which is bounded by Laos to the west.

The provincial People’s Committee said on September 20 that the investment also aims to boost sustainable development in the western mountainous economic region, which comprises 12 communes in Nam Giang and Tay Giang districts.

The province is expected to build border lines and road segments linking all communes and villages in the two districts together. Up to 53 irrigation works and 25 schools are also scheduled to be built with the investment.

Noteworthy is the work to construct the Nam Giang international border gate and border trade zone, according to the provincial People’s Committee of Quang Nam./.
