The Nam Giang border gate in Quang Nam Province

The Foreign Ministry and Quang Nam Provincial People’s Committee shall be responsible for working with the Laos side to organize the launching ceremony of the border gate at a convenient time.

Earlier, a meeting on upgrading Nam Giang- Dac Ta Ooc border gate to an international border gate was conducted on March 15 between provincial leaders of Quang Nam (Viet Nam) and Sekong (Laos). 

The upgradation was considered very significant for the relationship between two provinces as it is expected to help speed up the socioeconomic development in both Quang Nam and Sekong.

Viet Nam and Laos have established seven international border gates namely Na Meo Border Gate in Thanh Hoa Province, Nam Can Border Gate in Nghe An Province, Keo Nua Border Gate in Ha Tinh Province, Lao Bao Border Gate in Quang Tri Province, Cha Lo Border Gate in Quang Binh Province, Po Y Border Gate in Kon Tum Province, and Tay Trang Border Gate in Dien Bien Province./.
