Deputy PM Vu Khoan talks with Cambodian minister on border issues
Var Kim Hong and his entourage from the Cambodian Royal Government's Border Committee are on a working visit to Viet Nam.
"Vietnamese and Cambodian leaders place importance to the signing of a supplementary agreement to the land border treaty signed in 1985 in order to build the common borderline into a friendly one as soon as possible," Deputy PM Khoan said after praising the Viet Nam-Cambodia Joint Border Committee for working fruitfully over the recent past.
The Vietnamese leader emphasised the importance of demarcating and planting landmarks on the borderline, stressing "close cooperation between the two border committees in particular and between the two countries in general is needed to execute this task."
He spoke of the difficulties in planting landmarks on the common borderline and expressed his hope that the two countries will formulate a detailed roadmap and a cooperation mechanism for the task.
The Cambodian senior minister thanked his host for his warm reception, which he said reflected the Vietnamese leaders' concern about addressing border issues.
He said Cambodia wants to work closely with Viet Nam to set up landmarks along the border as soon as possible.
Var Kim Hong said that the border demarcation and the setting up of landmarks are historical events, therefore, "joint efforts are needed for the sake of peace and stability in the border areas."
"To have an everlasting borderline is the highest desire of leaders, and the common aspiration of peoples of the two countries," the Cambodian minister said.
