Officials of the Vietnam-Cambodia Joint Committee for Land Border Demarcation and Marker Planting convened their first meeting in Hanoi on May 29, marking the resumption of the two countries' land border delineation work after an interruption of nearly 18 years.

The Vietnamese Government delegation was led by Vu Dung, Deputy Foreign Minister, Director of the Foreign Ministry's Border Department and Chairman of the Vietnam-Cambodia Committee for Land Border Demarcation and Marker Planting. It comprised leaders of the 10 provinces that share a borderline with Cambodia and representatives of the Governmental Office and relevant ministries and sectors.

The Cambodian party was headed by Var Kim Hong, Senior Minister in charge of border issues and Chairman of the Cambodia-Vietnam Committee for Land Border Demarcation and Marker Planting. It included officials of the nine provinces lying along the common borderline with Vietnam, and representatives of the Ministers' Council Office, concerned ministries and military zones I, II and III.

The two sides agreed to complete preparatory work as soon as possible to pave the way for demarcating the land border and planting markers, which has been scheduled for completion by the two governments prior to the end of 2008.

In a friendly, frank and mutually understanding atmosphere, Vietnamese and Cambodian officials discussed specific items in depth, such as organisation of forces working on demarcation and planting, numbers and positions of land border markers, design of and criteria for land border markers, numbering standards for  land border markers and issues relating to a map serving the land border delineation and border marker planting.

They also agreed on documents relating to legal and technical aspects supportive to the work  and discussed training programmes for people of both sides in charge of executing the task.

This year, the work will start with the planting of border markers at several international and national border gates to serve economic exchange, officials agreed.
