Final border marker between Quang Tri and Laos’ Salavan inaugurated
The inauguration of
border marker number 638 was significant at the time when Vietnam and
Laos are celebrating the 50 th anniversary of diplomatic ties and 35
years of the signing the Friendship and Cooperation Treaty between the
two countries.
The marker will not only create a
more stable and secure borderline for local people but also contribute
to the successful completion of the two countries’ master plan of
replanting and upgrading border landmarks.
Head of
Salavan’s Committee on Border and Demarcation Sisuvan Vongchomsi said
that over the past years, apart from replanting and upgrading border
markers, the two provincial committees and relevant agencies have also
conducted good protection, patrol and management to ensure security
along the border.
In the past, Quang Tri and two
neighbouring provinces of Salavan and Savannakhet have actively joined
hands to implement the approved plan on replanting and upgrading border
markers.
To date, replanting and upgrading has been
made to 31 marker positions out of 33 markers between the two
countries’ border provinces of Quang Tri and Salavan, while the figure
between Quang Tri and Savannakhet is 31 out of 35 markers.-VNA
