The trade revenue between Vietnam and Cambodia is expected to surpass US$1.5 billion this year against US$1.2 billion in 2007.

The Commercial Counselor of the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia, Le Bien Cuong, said the two countries recorded almost US$900 million in trade revenues for the first half of the year.

Vietnam exported over US$700 million to Cambodia and imported over US$140 million worth of commodities from the neighbouring country.

Textile and garments, computers, electronic appliances, household electrical products, fruit and vegetables, seafood and plastic commodities are Vietnam’s major hard currency earners.

The two countries set a target of US$2.3 billion in bilateral trade by 2010 and US$6.5 billion by 2015. (VNA)
