Cambodia and Laos have agreed to complete the planting of 14 more border pillars by 2009. Both countries have also agreed to use the 121 temporary border pillars as the official permanent border demarcations.

Foreign Minister Hor Namhong (pictured) said on 28th November, 2008 that both countries have agreed to use the 121 temporary border pillars as the permanent border demarcations. The 121 border pillars represented 86% of the border pillars to be planted along the borders between the two countries. The agreement happened after PM Hun Sen proposed that both countries should use the temporary pillars as the permanent border demarcations because they were strong enough which only need some reinforcements.

The other 14 unplanted pillars will be completed in 2009 and the border issues between Cambodia and Laos are expected to be permanently resolved.

At the same time, Laos has thanked Cambodia for allowing Laos to use Sihanoukville Seaport for transporting goods to and from other countries. And Laos has also agreed with the Cambodian request for Cambodian patients who live near the borders to be treated at the Laotian hospitals. Both countries have also agreed to provide more scholarships for students from both countries.//
