The official announcement of the upgrade of the Tra Linh - Longbang border gates into international ones and the opening of the Na Doong - Na Ray border crossing will be an important landmark demonstrating the development of cooperation between Cao Bang and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, as well as between Vietnam and China.
It will also help reinforce and promote bilateral partnerships, particularly in trade in goods, especially farm produce, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.
Immediately after the ceremony, the first groups of tourists entered and exited through two border gates, and means of transport also cleared customs to export and import goods through the Na Doong - Na Ray border crossing.
