BLOM Geomatics AS of Denmark has been awarded a two-year contract to produce topographic surveys and border maps between Cambodia and Vietnam, beating proposals from IGN France International, Kokusai Kogyo Corporation (Japan), Samboo Engineering Company (South Korea) and Pasco-FINNMAP (Japan/Finland).
During a press conference at 4 p.m on Friday 17th, Mr. Var Kimhong, chairman of Cambodian Border Commission, said after many meetings between Cambodian and Vietnamese border committees from 1-17 December, both sides had agreed to accept the cheapest bidding from BLOM Geomatics AS (Denmark) which had put a tender for $1,528,000 and which is much cheaper than other companies' bid of more than $4.5 million to produce the maps.
He said, from 10-14 January 2011, representatives from the two countries will discuss further details with BLOM Geomatics AS (Denmark), and if agreements can be reached, the contract will then be signed. He added that the maps will be drawn using 1:25,000 scale.
The opposition parties cannot be reached for comments on the matter at the time of this article going to press. However, in the past they said Cambodia already had internationally-recognised maps and had accused the government of complicit in the cession of Cambodian territory to Vietnam by using newly-drawn maps.

I think I'm going to mum my words for now because it's sounding good. However, it is a wait and see matter. Let give the Cambodian Government a chance to layout the ground work for this. I hope everything would work out, not just between Cambodia and Vietnam, but also between Cambodia and Thailand as well.
Cambodia had an internationally-recognized maps deposited at the UN in 1965, why do we have to draw new maps. With villagers claiming to have lost their land due to border demarcations everyday, the new maps will be drawn using the new border demarcations/border posts which will cause Cambodia to lose more lands. This is what will happen.
