The Mekong delta province of Dong Thap and Cambodia ’s Prayveng province have signed a co-operation agreement on border security and development, agriculture, trade and health care for 2010.
Last year, the co-operation between the two provincial authorities proved to be effective in maintaining order along the border, enhancing the fight against crimes and smuggling and facilitating the flow of people and goods across the border.
The two sides have conducted joint border patrols to protect territorial sovereignty and border landmarks in the spirit of solidarity, friendship and mutual assistance.
Dong Thap has also transferred rice cultivation techniques to Prayveng and provided medical checks-up and treatment to more than 5,000 Cambodian patients.
The province has assisted in the building of electricity transmission lines from Vietnam to Prayveng and a 28.3 km road section connecting the Bon Tia Chac Cray bordergate and the Highway 1 in Prayveng’s Sa Dach district which is expected to be completed on September 30, 2010.
In the meantime, Prayveng has helped the K91 searching team of Dong Thap to find 145 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers who died on battlefields in Cambodia during the wartime. (VNA)
