Cambodia, Laos finish 81% of joint border demarcation

Cambodia and Laos have finished 81 percent of joint border demarcation so far and vowed to fully complete it as soon as possible, a spokesman said Friday.
"The two countries have pledged to expedite the process of boundary demarcation and hope that the remaining 19 percent of the demarcation work will be completed as soon as possible," Ek Tha, a spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers, told reporters.
He said Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An met with Lao Deputy Foreign Minister Bounkuet Sangsomsak on Friday to discuss the matter.
Sok An said the peaceful settlement with mutual understanding on border issues between Cambodia and Laos should be a "role model " for countries in resolving their border problems.
Bounkuet Sangsomsak said Laos was pleased to build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development with Cambodia.
Bounkuet visited Cambodia for a meeting with Cambodia's border chief Var Kimhong to discuss ways to speech up border demarcation between the two neighbors.
Cambodia shares 540 km of border with Laos to the north and northeast.
