Nguyen Phuc Thanh, Vietnamese parliament delegate, is meeting separately with Chea Sim (L) and Hen Samrin (R). One day before the one-year anniversary of the day of shame when Hun Sen concluded the supplemental border treaty to the illegal treaties with Vietnam, Nguyen Phuc Thanh is pushing Heng Samrin to pursue maritime border demarcation in 2008, even though Vietnam never respected Cambodia's land and maritime borders in the past.

Phnom Penh – During its official one week visit in Cambodia, the Vietnamese parliament delegation led by Nguyen Phuc Thanh had met separately with Chea Sim, Senate president, and Heng Samrin, National Assembly president, on 09 October to discuss the bilateral relations between the two countries. During the meeting, the Vietnamese delegation raised the issue of pursuing the maritime border demarcation following the installation of land borders which will be completed in 2008.
Kom Kosal, Foreign Affairs advisor to Heng Samrin, told a group of reporters at the National Assembly after the meeting between Heng Samrin and Nguyen Phuc Thanh, vice-president of the Vietnamese National Assembly and president of the Vietnamese national defense and security, that during the meeting, the relationships issues between the two countries have been raised, and the discussion focused also the border issue. Kom Kosal added that Heng Samrin welcomed the visit in Cambodia by the Vietnamese delegates, the latter said that during their visit, they observed that Cambodia had made significant progress. During the discussion, Nguyen Phuc Thanh also raised the issue of border demarcation between the two countries. Kom Kosal said that 6 out of the 7 points of contentions included in the installation of land border marker demarcation had been resolved, and only one point remains. This last point will be resolved by 2008.
Kom Kosal stressed that after the installation of land border markers will be completed in 2008, the two parties (Cambodia and Vietnam) will pursue the installation of maritime border markers next. Kom Kosal said that Heng Samrin told the Vietnamese delegation that the Cambodian National Assembly welcomes and places high value on the good evolution of the installation of border markers between Cambodia and Vietnam, and that this is a historical event which never happened before. The Royal Government of Cambodia and the government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam had agreed to complete the installation of border markers in 2008 in order to provide a border of peace and long lasting cooperation.
Heng Samrin told the guests: “The meeting on the cooperation and the development of provinces bordering Cambodia and Vietnam shows that this is a necessary fruitful mean for the enormous shouldering of the shares, and it is an important point to reduce poverty within the border areas between the two countries so that they can become financial and commercial zones.”
Separately, on that same morning, the Vietnamese delegation also met with Chea Sim, the president of the Senate, at the Senate office building. Chumteav Kunthea Borey, an advisor of Chea Sim, told reporters that the delegation informed the president of the Senate on the cooperation between the legislative bodies of the two countries. Mrs. Kunthea Borey added that Nguyen Phuc Thanh told Chea Sim that Vietnam will always support Cambodia in its national development as it did in the past and as it will in the future.
Chea Sim said: “I hope that there will be support by Vietnam, in its name as neighboring country, to resolve issues that will occur.” Chea Sim hopes that the border between the two countries will be a border of friendship and neighborly relationships between the two countries. Nguyen Phuc Thanh said that the goal of his visit is to strengthen the cooperation [between the two countries].

why need border...give it all any way...for power...boddha will punish all of you and your follower to hell for many live...oh! poor cambodia when will be end of corruption and unjustice and poverty....may buddha kill all who steal and corrupted and cambodia away to viet....
By looking back the Pre-Angkorian and Post-Angkorian periods, Khmer keeps loosing their territory to either Thai or Viet due to these corrupted, ignorant, and stupid leaders or Samdachs: Mr. H'insane and others are exactly alike! These monterous leaders keep repeting the same mistakes and history!
Cambodia is the only country who is giving land away.
Hun Sen must have his real-estate liscene to be selling off cambodia.
It is so sad to see all these CPP people to try to be Khmer Heros by selling Khmer land to Vietcong. For an example, Som ach Hun Xen trying to get accept from Howard, John Austriala President. Hun Xen offer everything that Cambodian has just to be accept from Howard,John.
The process of the maritime border demarcation will be similar to the land border demarcation. Vietnam makes all the adjustments and the drawings, and Cambodia just signs the border treaty. Any patriotic Cambodians oppose to this sham border treaty will be arrested and imprisoned for treason.
Don't be surprised if we see all the familiar "Congratulations" banners hanging over our city streets, and all the controlled medias portrait this border treaty as a victorious event for the Cambodian people. The CPP can lie to the Cambodian people without shame or guilty conscience.
