Country Assistance Plans - Viet Nam

IV. Regional Cooperation in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)

66. In recent years, road transport projects have been the most tangible sign of Viet Nam’s GMS integration, with approval of the Phnom Penh-Ho Chi Minh City highway in the south (in 1998) and the East-West corridor in the center (1999). This trend is expected to continue, with the proposed Kunming-Haiphong corridor in the North ensuring subregional links from each of Viet Nam’s economic regions. Further subregional integration of Viet Nam is expected through participation in GMS dialogue on “soft infrastructure” issues (transborder agreements, simplified common procedures, tourism, and joint action on social and environmental issues, such as HIV/AIDS, to address some of the side effects of improved flows of people among the GMS countries).
