During the conference, organised by the Commission for Ideology and Culture under the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, the two main issues presented were the Supplementary Treaty to the 1985 Vietnam-Cambodia Treaty on Border Delimitation and the current process of landmark plantation between the two countries.

The Supplementary Treaty, signed by the Vietnamese and Cambodian Prime Ministers in Hanoi on October 10, 2005, created a legal foundation for a definite and sustainable resolution to borderline issues between the two states, helping boost peace, cooperation and friendship between the two countries.

The 1985 Vietnam-Cambodia Treaty on Border Delimitation demonstrates both countries' conviction in mutual respect for the current frontiers based on existing maps with a view to facilitating the demarcation and landmark plantation.

After ratification of the treaty, more than 200 km out of the 1,137 km long borderlines have been demarcated and 72 out of the total projected 322 landmarks have been planted.

The joint committee on border delimitation of Vietnam and Cambodia has agreed to replace all the current landmarks with newly-designed ones.
Vietnam has 10 provinces bordering nine provinces of Cambodia.
