Cambodia-bordering areas to receive more help

Government officials met in Ho Chi Minh City on Aug. 22 on a planning project for the areas bordering Cambodia to help local people raise their living conditions while consolidating the friendship with their neighbours.

HCM City (VNA) – Participants discussed investment solutions to develop infrastructure, policies for local people to settle down and promote production, measures to assist poor households and raising local people’s intellect.

The officials suggested the project be implemented till 2020 instead of the proposed deadline of 2015.

The project covers 109 communes lying along the Vietnam-Cambodia border line, which belong to Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An, Dong Thap, An Giang, and Kien Giang provinces with a total of 225,000 households numbering around 1 million people.
