Marker plantation with Cambodia prioritised in 2008

February 26, 2008

Vietnam affirmed to place the priority on the planting of border markers at border gates it shared with neighbouring Cambodia this year to facilitate economic exchange and travel of people in border areas.

The task was set at a meeting on the border demarcation and marker planting on the Vietnam-Cambodia border held in Ho Chi Minh City on February 25.

The meeting brought together representatives of concerned ministries and agencies and authorities of provinces sharing the border with Cambodia, including Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An, Dong Thap, An Giang and Kien Giang.

Participants looked at how the demarcation and planting of landmark pillars progressed after the supplementary treaty to the Vietnam-Cambodia Border delimitation treaty was signed on October 10, 2005.

They defined tasks of the demarcation and landmark plantation work and measures to ratchet up the work in 2008. (VNA)
