At Thanh Thuy international border gate |
After the Tianbao international border gate in China’s Yunnan province resumed operation, officials at Thanh Thuy international border gate have offered all possible support for exports-imports, he said.
In the context of the outbreak of the acute respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), shipments of Vietnamese farm produce to China at major border gates were suspended. Several border gates neighboring China have recently come back to work.
