Hanoi (VNA) – The completion of a project to increase and upgrade national border markers along the Vietnam-Laos border line reflects the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the countries, and serves as a model for regional countries in addressing land border-related issues.

The statement was made by Ho Xuan Son, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chairman of the Vietnam – Laos Joint Committee for Border Marker Planting, while talking to the press after a ceremony to mark the completion in Hanoi on March 16.

According to Son, with an average density of 2.6km a marker, the two countries have a clear border line, which is easy to be seen and managed.

This will help maintain peace and stability in border areas, and facilitate border management, trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between the two nations, Son said.

In the time ahead, both Vietnam and Laos should disseminate regulations and articles of a protocol on the Vietnam-Laos border line and national border markers, and an agreement on land border and border gate management regulations signed between the two Governments for people living along the border, in order to help them proactively maintain public order at border areas, and safeguard the border line and border marker system.

The Deputy PM shared with the press that during the working process with Laos and China, Vietnam has accumulated a lot of experience in border demarcation and border marker planting, which has also been used when working with Cambodia in this area.

Vietnam and Cambodia have to date completed about 84 percent of their border demarcation and border marker planting, he said.

With their goodwill and friendship and on the basis of international law and signed agreements, the two countries will surely address existing problems to build a border line of peace, stability and cooperation, he added.-VNA
