PHNOM PENH, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia and Vietnam have affirmed their determination to speed up the demarcation of the land border between the two nations, local media reported Tuesday.
The work will be completed by 2012, the Mekong Times newspaper said, citing Var Kim Hong, Cambodian Senior Minister in charge of border affairs and Chairman of the Cambodian-Vietnam Joint Border Commission.
The contentious Cambodia-Vietnam border demarcation began in 2005 and was supposed to be finished in 2007, the newspaper said.
"We planned to finish the border demarcation between Cambodia and Vietnam at the end of last year, but due to technical issues, such as unclear maps made during French colonial times and flooding, so far the project is about 30 percent completed," Var Kim Hong said, adding that about 30 of the total 340 markers have been installed.
Both sides agreed to identify all remaining positions on the map and install the most important border markers by the end of the year, Var Kim Hong said.

VN , stop invading us!!!
Khmer, Protect our border!!
But how?
The gov't should improve the lifestyle and encourage those who are living near the border areas so that they can struggle and love their places.
Like in the Takeo, Khmer part is poor, Yuon Part is rich and they improve agriculture. hun sen should open his eye to see.
We see, that is why we must permanently mark our border and end the dispute for good.
No one can live in an area without knowing who it's belong to, except for squatters who respect nothing. To them, they own all the land everywhere.
Hey! Youn just take the land that had been promised to offer by Our liberators. That's fair enough. Am i right? Oh my liberator !
Yeah, but Yuon said the opposite, so who is telling the truth?
This is long enough of try to invade border of Cambodia,Hanoi should think about their young generation,Because our New generation known everything about our History of Cambodia.I believe it's time for Healing and Peace.
Yeah, and Planet of the Ape is a perfect place for healing and peace.
LOL, Yes of course! This is another 4 years in power of HUN SEN, YOUN must accomplish its goal. It is kinda make sense. We don't need rocket scientist for this thinking.
The truth is we can't continued to do business in the region in the old rusty way.
This is clearly long term solution and security for Cambodia.
nop, can not use the map imposed by vietnam. cambodian people will not accept this as we do not trust nor do we want to trust youn, the thieves!!!
We cant used any map from either side.
The only thing we can do is start with any map, then make adjustment that both sides can live with. That is what we called settlement.
