Sources from the Ministry of Public Works have said that Cambodia and Vietnam have on 26th July agreed to open six more border checkpoints a long the borders between the two countries.
The sources said during the third quarter of 2009, three border checkpoints such as Phnom Den Checkpoint, Prek Chak Checkpoint and Tropeang Tlong Checkpoint have been opened.
Cambodia has asked Vietnam for a permission to build a border bridge at Dak Dam in Mondulkiri to be financed by the Chinese government. Vietnam does not object to Cambodia's request but asked it to deal with the local Vietnamese authority. The plan is for Cambodia to build half of the bridge and the Vietnamese side builds the other half with costs splitting one million U.S dollars each.
However, Cambodia wants to request for Vietnam to cover the whole costs for the building of the entire bridge or Vietnam offers loans to Cambodia with low interest rates.
