VN, Cambodia strive to complete demarcation

Many border posts like this post No. 125 in Kak commune in Ponhea Krek district, Kampong Cham have been accused by opposition parties and civil society of being planted inside Cambodia.

[Isria] - Vietnamese and Cambodian officials on border issues have affirmed a resolve to complete land border demarcation and landmark erection by 2012 as the two countries’ leaders agreed.

At the fifth round of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Joint Committee on Border Demarcation in Phnom Penh on Feb. 24-25, officials agreed to increase cooperation to fulfill six main tasks this year.

The tasks include defining of at least 100 landmark positions, delineating 500km of border line, completing the switch to the UTM map on the 1/50,000 scale from the current use of the Bone map on the 1/100,000 scale, and identification of landmark positions on the map in March.

The two sides also agreed to join hands to fulfill publication of a set of the Viet Nam-Cambodia land border terrain maps and speed up compilation of a protocol on land border demarcation between the two countries.

In 2010, the two sides identified 72 positions, built 73 positions and demarcated 155 km of border line.

The Vietnamese delegation to the meeting was led by Ho Xuan Son, Deputy Foreign Minister and head of Viet Nam ’s Joint Committee on Border Demarcation. The Cambodian delegation was headed by Var Kimhong, Senior Minister and head of Cambodia ’s Joint Committee on Border Demarcation.

Key officials from relevant ministries, agencies and border provinces of both countries also attended the meeting.

Let's get the demarcation done on Kosh Trol as well. I'm willing to split it 50/50 to prevent a war between Khmer/VN.
