The Tan Nam international border gate, located in Tan Bien district’s Tan Binh commune, is opposite the MeanChey border gate in Cambodia’s Pray Veng province. In 2017, the Prime Minister approved a proposal to upgrade it from an auxiliary border gate into an international one. After nearly five years of preparation, on May 31, 2021, the Tan Nam - MeanChey international border gate pair officially came into operation.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Duong Van Thang said the operation of the Tan Nam international border gate marked a new period of cooperation and socio-economic development between Tay Ninh and Pray Veng, particularly regarding their trade and tourism exchange.

Highlighting Tay Ninh’s significant investment earmarked for Tan Nam’s infrastructure and facilities, Thang wished leaders of Prey Veng to continue prioritising investment in its border gate to make the best use of the pair of border gates for the two countries' economic cooperation and development.
