Ha Giang (VNA) - A ceremony for the official clearance of goods at the Sam Pun (Ha Giang province, Vietnam) – Tian Peng (Yunnan province, China) border gate pair was held on March 31, marking a milestone in fostering economic cooperation between the two nations.
Located at Border Marker 456 in Ha Giang’s Meo Vac district, the Sam Pun border gate has long served as a vital trade gateway between Vietnam and China.

The initiation of cargo clearance at the gate now opens significant opportunities for cross-border trade growth.
