A training course was held on August 24 in the southern province of Tay Ninh to provide knowledge of border demarcation and landmark plantation for 10 southern localities bordering Cambodia.

The training course, the first of its kind organised so far, was part of activities to implement the prime minister's instruction on realising the Supplementary Treaty to the Treaty on the Delimitation of the State Border between Vietnam and Cambodia in 1985.

In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency, Nguyen Quy Binh, deputy head of the Border Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Vietnam and Cambodia have defined 353 places to install landmarks. Four locations will have two landmarks, so a total of 357 landmarks will be planted.

The plantation of landmarks is scheduled to be finished by December 2008.

In this year alone, seven important landmarks will be installed at seven international and domestic border gates in the provinces of Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc, An Giang, Dong Thap, Kien Giang and Gia Rai, he said.

The first landmark will be built at the Moc Bai-Ba Vet International Border Gate in Tay Ninh province on September 7, 2006. It is scheduled for completion on September 27, 2006.
