The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) plans to build a new Khmer-Thai border checkpoint known as Thma Da International Border Gate in Pursat’s Veal Veng district.

This project is in line with the development of NR51 connecting downtown Pursat to the border area, and the under-construction NR10 connecting Koh Kong to Battambang.

MPWT Minister HE Sun Chanthol said in the meeting with the technical working group on Thursday 10 February that the new checkpoint will be located in Thmor Da Commune of Veal Veng district.

The objective of this new checkpoint establishment is to increase trade and tourism cooperation between the two countries, he added.

The project will include the construction of immigration buildings, customs and excise buildings for joint inspections, parking for goods transit, warehouses, container grounds, administrative buildings, and dormitory buildings.
