The province is set to upgrade Bo Y International Border Gate by 2030 so as to help boost local socio-economic development and build a Vietnam - Laos border of peace, friendship, cooperation, and development.
By 2050, it will continue improving infrastructure at Bo Y International Border Gate, upgrade the Dak Long - Van Tat border gates into international facilities, and build a smart border gate system along the borderlines with Attapeu and Sekong provinces of Laos, as well as with Ratanakiri province of Cambodia.
The auxiliary border gate pairs of Dak Blo (Kon Tum) - Dak Bar (Laos' Sekong), Dak Koi - Kon Tuyneak, and Ho Le - Border Police Station 505 are expected to become main ones under the plan./.
