The Japanese government has offered a US$20-million-aid to boost the development of provinces along the border of Cambodia, Viet Nam and Laos.
Cambodia and Laos each received $7.5 million and Viet Nam got $3.5 million. The rest will be used to rebuild the infrastructure in the zone.
Buffed by the Japanese aid, lawmakers from Cambodia, Vietnamese and Laos assemblies met on July 7 in Cambodia’s Katie province to discuss the possibility of a triangle development among three countries.
The Cambodia-Laos-Viet Nam Development Triangle covers the territory of the following provinces: Mondulkiri, Rattanakiri and Stung Treng (Cambodia); Attapeu, Saravan and Se Kong (Laos); and Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai and Kon Tum (Viet Nam).
