Newly Paved Road Expected to Up M’kiri Trade
With the paving of the road from Sen Monorom City to a planned international border crossing with Vietnam recently completed, cross-border trade in the area is expected to rise, officials said. Chinese-owned company Roch China Construction finished paving the 32-km road last month using a $19 million Chinese loan for the construction, said Aisi Sokuntheari deputy provincial governor. The proposed crossing fromO’Reang district’s Dak Dam commune to Bu Trang in Vietnam is still being negotiated between governments, but would hopefully open by the end of the year, she added.
