Border demarcation to be sped up
VietNamNet Bridge - Government steering boards overseeing the demarcation of borders with Cambodia and China met in Quang Ninh province, on April 9, to discuss plans to ratchet up their progress.
The conference, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Khiem, brought together representatives from government ministries, 17 bordering localities and key staff members of the steering boards.
"Border demarcation and the planting of border markers are of great significance to the nation's internal and external affairs, defence, security and socio-economic development," Deputy PM Khiem said.
"The work will help define clearly the actual border and contribute to creating a stable environment to foster socio-economic development, increase cross-border linkage, and promote friendship with our neighbouring countries," the Government leader stressed.
2007 was defined as a major year for demarcating the country's borderline with China . The year will also see work begin on the country's shared border with Cambodia as well.
Participants at the meeting agreed to increase the pace of demarcation on both borderlines so the work can be completed by the end of 2008. The leaders of all three countries are supportive of the plan.
