The goal of this workshop is to present the Establishment of a Comprehensive Plan for a Cross-Border Checkpoint Facility at Cambodia’s International Border Trapeang Srae, which is located in Kratie Province, Cambodia-Vietnam border, within the framework of the Republic of Korea’s Official Development Assistance (ODA), which will take approximately 24 months to study the feasibility from August 2022 to June 2024.
