With just hours before a midnight deadline was to hit China and Vietnam have reached an agreement on a land border dispute along a frontier stretch.
The 840 mile stretch of land was the scene of a brief but brutal war in 1979 after Vietnam overthrew Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge.
Both sides expressed satisfaction and hope after signing the deal as Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Dawei noted, “The completion of the land border demarcation between China and Vietnam will promote the development of the China-Vietnam strategic partnership. The completion of this work will also benefit peace, stability and development in this region.”
