The opening of the border gate addresses urgent development needs of both localities and establishes a foundation for coordinated infrastructure planning, helping improve the quality of investment attraction, facilitate research for rational mechanisms, and create favourable conditions for trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges, among others.
