Attending the ceremony were Mr. Nguyen Canh Toan, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Lang Son Province, and Mr. Wei Yao, Chairman of the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, along with representatives from relevant agencies of both countries.
The project to expand the dedicated cargo transportation road in the area of markers 1119 – 1120 at the Huu Nghi International Border Gate is part of the pilot scheme to build a smart border gate, managed by the Provincial Project Management Board. The total investment for the project exceeds 174.7 billion VND, divided into two phases: Phase 1 expands from 4 lanes to 6 lanes, and Phase 2 expands from 6 lanes to 14 lanes.
After active implementation, Phase 1 of the dedicated cargo transportation road project in the area of markers 1119 – 1120 at the Smart Border Gate of Huu Nghi (Vietnam) – Youyi Guan (China) has been completed.
The project aims to enhance trade capacity, meet the growing demand for import-export transportation, and reinforce the border gate’s role as a vital hub for transportation, trade, and diplomacy between Vietnam and China, as well as other Southeast Asian countries. It is expected to boost import-export turnover at the Huu Nghi International Border Gate, accelerate economic development in the border area, and strengthen bilateral trade efficiency.
