According to the report, Dak Nong province shares a land border of over 141 kilometers with Mondulkiri province in the Kingdom of Cambodia. There are two main border gates: Buprang border gate in Quang Truc commune, Tuy Duc district, and Dak Peur border gate in Thuan An commune, Dak Mil district. Over the past time, the political security and social order in the border and border gate areas have been basically stable, and territorial sovereignty has been maintained.

As a result, over the past 5 years, Buprang border gate Customs Branch and Buprang border gate Border Guard Station, Thuan An border gate Border Guard Station have coordinated to handle procedures for 570,516 passengers, 2,815 vehicles entering and exiting the country; coordinated to handle, inspect, and supervise 6,601 customs declarations for import and export goods, with a total value of US$27.9 million.

Customs and Border Guard forces have also coordinated patrols and inspections 267 times in the border area, Buprang border gate, Dak Peur border gate, and the customs controlk area with over 1,100 Border Guard officers and Customs officials participating. Through this, they have coordinated to arrest and handle 5 cases involving 7 subjects.

At the conference, the two units also raised some limitations and difficulties in the work of controlling the area. Specifically, equipment and means serving the work of inspection, supervision, and customs control at Buprang and Dak Peur border gates are still lacking, such as cargo scanners, luggage scanners, handheld drug detectors, radiation detectors, drug test kits, surveillance camera systems..., while the force is still thin, the methods, tricks of smuggling, illegal transportation of goods, drugs are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex.

Speaking at the conference, Director of Dak Lak Customs Department Tran Hai Son said that, according to the requirements of the Party and the State, in the coming time, creating maximum convenience for import and export activities, entry and exit continues to be a key task.

However, the situation of various crimes such as buying and selling, illegally transporting drugs; smuggling, buying and selling, transporting prohibited goods; buying and selling, transporting weapons, explosives, supporting tools, items, reactionary materials; the situation of Vietnamese people going to Cambodia to gamble, cockfighting... through border gates, the border is becoming increasingly complex. This requires closer coordination between the Border Guard forces and Customs. Therefore, the Director of Dak Lak Customs Department requested the two units to continue implementing the regulations, cooperation plan between Customs and Border Guard as well as other competent forces to strengthen, enhance the cooperation relationship between the two forces, meet the requirements of the task in the new stage. Besides that, it is necessary to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of coordinated cooperation in exchanging, providing information, conducting patrols, and coordinating in the fight against subjects, smuggling rings, illegal transportation of goods, drugs across the border.

The two sides also need to maintain exchange activities to promptly grasp the situation, cooperation results; conduct interim evaluation, summary, and draw lessons regularly to identify the causes, what has been done, what has not been done, and what remains limited in cooperation work in a spirit of frankness, unity, agreement, and adherence to the law. In particular, it is necessary to continue to request competent authorities to accelerate the investment, construction, planning, and upgrading of infrastructure, equipment, and technical means serving the work at Dak Peur and Buprang border gates; upgrading Dak Peur border gate to an international border gate.

Director Nguyen Hai Son also emphasized that the two sides need to coordinate with the Provincial People's Committee to continue requesting the Ministry of Transport to report to the Government to negotiate with Cambodia to add the Dak Peur - Nam Lea pair of border gates to the list of pairs of border gates implementing the the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Royal Government of Cambodia to facilitate the passage of vehicles through Dak Peur border gate.
