Vietnam and Cambodia will open three new border gates by early next month to facilitate increasing passenger and freight traffic between the two countries, Cambodian spokesperson Phan Siphan said Sunday.

Two of the three new border gates will be in An Giang Province and the other in Tay Ninh.

According to Vietnam Trade Office in Cambodia, trade between the two countries reached US$1.7 billion last year, up $400 million from 2007.

Vietnam said in July it plans to implement hydropower, tourism, agriculture and forestry projects in the 10 provinces bordering Cambodia through 2020. The 10 border provinces have a population of 12.65 million, the government said.
