Cambodia and Thailand held talks on the possibility of reopening border gates to restore the economy, according to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Thailand. The discussion at the embassy was led by Cambodia’s Ambassador to Thailand Ouk Sophorn and Chanitr Charnchainarong, chair of the Thailand-Cambodia Business Council,   as well as Thai businessmen.

 

Solutions were sought to unlock economic activities and the possibility of reopening the main border gates between the two nations, put in place by the strict health measures on entering and leaving between Cambodia and Thailand to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Currently, Thailand allows export and import of  normal goods only in Oddar Meanchey province and the Poipet-Khlong Luk International Checkpoint.
