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 the 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./.
