PHNOM PENH, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia will host a "Trade Fair" for the first time in Development Triangle among Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, a government official said on Thursday.
Son Sotha, deputy director of export department of Ministry of Commerce, said that the "CLV Development Triangle Trade Fair" will be held from March 13-15 in provincial town of Rattanakiri, the Cambodia's far northeastern part.
He said that some 50 companies of the private sectors from the three countries will be there to present their products.
Son Sotha said the main purpose of the "Trade Fair" is to turn the area into the actual development with more awareness of the potentiality and the connectivity among the three countries.
The "Trade Fair" will be organized at the same time of the 5th meeting of the Joint Coordinating Committee for Development Triangle Area.
Rattanakiri Province is located about 600 km, northeast of Phnom Penh--and known as one of the less developed provinces in the country due to poor infrastructure.
