New border checkpoint agreed in Banteay Meanchey and Sa Kaeo

Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to establish another border checkpoint between Banteay Meanchey and Sa Kaeo provinces. Banteay Meanchey provincial deputy governor, Ly Sovannarith, said yesterday that both countries have agreed to open a new checkpoint in Svay Chek commune, Banteay Meanchey and Ta Phraya commune, Sa Kaeo province in Thailand.

Sovannarith noted that this came after Banteay Meanchey provincial authorities had met with Sa Kaeo provincial authorities to discuss the implementation to establish an international border checkpoint. Both countries have agreed on opening the checkpoint for the convenience of both provinces’ citizens to enhance trade and strengthen the relationship, Sovannarith added.

“This new checkpoint is a testimony to the good relationship between both countries over the last decade and will benefit cross border economic growth,” said Sovannarith. Both authorities have mutually agreed on this project. However both sides will wait until the official agreement is penned by both countries ministries of interior before construction can commence, Sovannarith added.
