GPS survey to settle Vietnamese-Cambodian border [-Will it follow exactly the 1964 Cambodia maps or will it just follow the Viet-imposed maps?]

An extensive GPS survey has been commissioned to define the highly-sensitive shared border between Cambodia and Vietnam.

The governments of the two South East Asian nations have announced a joint project - to be carried out by a specialist Danish team of surveyors - that will update the current maps of the border, which are more than 60 years old.

Due to the advanced, satellite-based surveying equipment available for the project, what would have once been a very time and personnel-intensive mission, will now be carried out in less than two years, with a budget of under £1 million (approximately US$1.5 million).

Nguyen Hong Thao, deputy director of the border committee of Vietnam, said the topographic map was an important step in fully realising a border treaty signed between the two nations in 2005.

"Producing a border land map of both countries will help transform the borderlines to become cooperative, peaceful and friendly," he said.

The Cambodian government has come under fire recently from one opposition party, which has claimed that Cambodia has ceded certain tracts of territory to Vietnam at a number of points along the border. Government officials have said the new maps will meet stringent international standards, and allow the two countries to moderate any potential border conflicts.

hopefully, with this international experts working to help demarcate the international borderlines of cambodia and our neighboring countries, we all can stop the blame, the political attack, the biased view, etc... this way, i believe, trouble-making individuals will have not good reason to point fingers, to blame, to curse, etc because everything will be official and on black and white all spelled out and so forth. but in order to do that, make sure the team of international experts like this danish map-making company, the border committee of both countries, etc have used the official map, and one map only, that was official recognized internationally and with the UN, with cambodia, etc, not a strange map or unofficial map, to base this international map survelance. this way, politicians can't look for reasons to blame each other for their poltical gain, we all know was the case all along, really, ok! the expect team should consult with our khmer experts as well as our official map from the 1964, etc... when it comes to khmer names for villages, towns, cities, landscapes such as rivers, lakes, etc, of course they should consult with cambodia; this way, the khmer names, etc will be properly spelled, labeled, etc; otherwise, it is questionable! that's all! yes, think smart, ok!

After Khmer empire,many Khmer leaders lacked of Leadership,management,and lacked to accomplish their duties.
If a prince wanted to be king,he must get help from Thai king or from Vietnam king.
These evil attitudes of Khmer king has untill today.
Look at Sihanouk in 1970,he asked Viet troops to invade Cambodia.
The China,The Russia,North Korea supported Vietnamese troops.
To get power back,Sihanouk needed Viet troops.
Should Khmer people keep monarchy or abolish it?

$1.5 millions are enough for Danish company to carry out?, make sure this company does not rush to make faulty map as both goverment require, make sure base on French map

Is the term "international stardard" used by CPP is understood as Vietnamese's standard? Koh Pich is "build to international standards"..look at the outcome to the quality of the works..who is the looser?

Who police these?
It should be conducted by a nutral stakeholder like the UN with the members of the 1991 Paris agreement in a committee to survey and audit all the boarder posts accross Cambodia and it neighbours.

Having the UN performing these role is not Bais unlike the current approached. And the decision by the UN should be and expected to be nutral, hence to prevent conflicts between neighbour.

Whatever the CPP Hun Sen and Vietnam government agreed in doing. they arecooking some more dirty tricks.

Dont forget many CPP MPs have/hold Cambodian name, speak and write Khmer well, but there origin is Vietnamese and their interests is Vietnam NOT cambodia. We already at great lost and disadvantages due to the legacy of Vietnamese invasion and occupaction of Cambodia until today. Thanks to the dedicated traitors...

Khmer will get rid of Vietcong Var Kim Hong, the thief of a century for good this time. If he refuses to go back to North Vietnam, Khmer will put
him in a gas chamber.

Please understand, the company get pay to do a certain job they will do that job. So for Danish team of surveyer get pay to get a GPS loacation and draw the map acording to the new post that already been installed, ofcourse they will draw the map according those posts to be able to get pay, I would do the same. If they get pay to survey the border post already planted with the map that we all agree with, the outcome would be different.
The other word is, here you are, we Viet want this much the post already planted draw the map according to this new posts and let hope the uneducated Khmer happy with the free border post.

isn't the new posts have to be the same as the borderline with the official map of cambodia. i don't think they are stupid to do it illegally at the expense of cambodia. i don't think khmer gov't is that stupid to give away lands, territories, etc to viet/youn when we still remember koh tral, mekong delta, khmer krom, etc... from what i know, i don't think khmer gov't is that stupid, ok!

Cambodian will re-check the accuracy border markers once the puppet regime collapse. We will not let the VietCong steal our land. If the border markers are found to be located inside our territories we will destroy it immediately.

Yes Sir OK, I completly agree with you,"I don't think khmer gov't is that stupid to give away lands, territories, etc to viet/youn when we still remember koh tral, mekong delta, khmer krom,"
For the borderline it will not be the same as the official map because our traitor Svar Kimhong already admmited that some part of the new borderline will be deep into Cambodia as much as 5Km and some part will be into Yuon 5Km and same as admmiting that Svar Kimhong has no ability to just put the post there where it should be. I think the government should spend money and resource to get it right first the publish a map. Is the government that stupid? yes the government is that stupid!!
