PHNOM PENH: Interior Minister Sar Kheng has renewed his demand that officials close all unauthorised entry points to Cambodia to prevent human and drug trafficking and other transnational crimes.

 

Speaking at a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Poipet border checkpoint on Monday, he said unauthorised checkpoints lacked competent officials and provided no benefits, according to a report.

 

“We open many international border checkpoints and bilateral gates,” Mr Kheng said.

will this affect border runs?

I very much doubt it. All visa runs need to go through authorised entry points to get legit stamps.
