TAY NINH — The Vietnamese and Cambodian Governments yesterday started work on planting eight border markers between the two countries.
The markers will be built from Mark No 80 in Tay Ninh Province's Tan Hoa Commune, which is contiguous with Kampong Cham Province's Caro Vien Commune of Cambodia.
Tay Ninh has determined 51 border mark locations in the province so far, 21 of which border with Kampong Cham Province. Thirteen of them have been planted.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, the border marking steering committees of the two provinces held a conference to assess the demarcation and marker planting process.
The two parties said the difficult terrain was the main problem during the process as there was no vehicle access to some of the border mark locations.
Both countries plan to complete the officially marked border in 2011 and the legal documents in 2012.
The two provinces' border marking steering committees have agreed to continue co-operating closely. They will provide assistance to the border marking teams and information to local residents about the importance of the work.
