Abstract

In this paper, the author would like to uncover challenges to Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Development Triangle and suggest key policies to address them. The first section of this paper will give an introduction on the Vietnam provinces (VDTA) of CLV-DTA. The second section will present the market potential within the Vietnamese area of CLV-DTA. Cross-border trade through border crossings between VDTA provinces and Cambodian member provinces (CDTA), Lao member provinces (LDTA) as well as transport corridors for shipping goods will be discussed in this part. In the third section, challenges will be pointed out. It would be a shortcoming if this section mentioned only challenges but not the development potential that would help address these challenges. At the conclusion of this paper, the author will summarize the findings and suggest selected policies.
