Normal entry-exit activities via Mong Cai and Bac Luan I bridge border gates in the northern province of Quang Ninh resumed on February 21.

Tran Bich Ngoc, Head of the Mong Cai International Border Gate Management Board, said as of 9 am on the same day, 21 people had applied for exit procedures to enter China and nearly 30 Chinese entering Vietnam.

Previously, the administration of Dongxing city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China on February 20 sent a letter to the People’s Committee of Mong Cai city in Quang Ninh province to inform the resumption of normal entry-exit activities from February 21.

Accordingly, entry and exit activities at the Mong Cai International Border Gate will take place from 7am to 8pm (Hanoi time).

People going through the border gates must have valid entry and exit documents and fill in health confirmation cards. Those who enter China must present proof of a negative PCR-RT COVID-19 test result within 48 hours.

In the letter, the administration of Dongxing city affirmed that customs clearance of goods through border gates of Mong Cai and Dongxing has basically resumed since January 8, contributing to boosting socio-economic development of both sides.

The People’s Committee of Mong Cai city has assigned relevant agencies working at border gates to arrange forces, vehicles and equipment, ensuring security and order while creating the most favorable condition for citizens of the two countries when completing entry-exit procedures.

Earlier, import-export activities and customs clearance of goods via the Ma Lu Thang International Border Gate in Phong Tho district of the northern province of Lai Chau and the Jinshuihe border gate of China's Yunnan province were fully resumed on February 20.

After more than three years affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full restoration of activities at the border gates helps facilitate the exchange of goods and the travel of people of the two countries.
