He said the conference aims to further strengthen solidarity, friendship and comprehensive cooperation toward sustainable development and a peaceful, stable border area.
Sharing more about Tay Ninh Province’s development orientation, particularly in border trade, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Ut said the province is accelerating investment in key transport infrastructure projects such as the Ho Chi Minh City–Moc Bai Expressway, Ring Road No.3 and several other major routes.
