HÀ N?I — Vi?t Nam, Cambodia and Laos have agreed on the tri-junction point of their land boundaries.

The agreement was signed by Vietnamese Deputy Foreign Minister Vu Dung; Võ Kim H?ng, senior minister to the Royal Government of Cambodia in charge of border affairs; and Phongsavat Bupha, Lao deputy foreign minister.

Under the agreement, the tri-junction point was defined to be on a mountain peak 3,563 feet above sea level where the borderlines of Vi?t Nam’s Kon Tum Province, Laos’ Attapu Province and Cambodia’s Rattanakiri Province meet.

The border crossing was drawn on a map attached to the agreement and was verified by the three sides.

The border-crossing agreement was made in the spirit of upholding the principles of equality and accuracy to ensure the tri-junction point is clear, easily recognizable, and favorable for the management of the three parties’ borders.

The agreement also was made to ensure that the national boundary of each country, which was defined in the existing border treaties agreed by the three countries, is not changed.

The signing of this agreement reflected the determination and spirit of solidarity and friendship of the governments and people of Vi?t Nam, Laos and Cambodia in settling border and territory-related issues.

At the signing ceremony, all three countries’ representatives affirmed their resolve to complete works related to the on-the-field demarcation of their land borders and support the implementation of the Cambodia-Laos-Vi?t Nam Development Triangle program as agreed by the three prime ministers.
