Conference spotlights border, territory management
The enforcement of three legal documents regulating the Vietnam – China land border over the last three years has created favourable conditions for the two sides to manage their shared border in an effective way and boost their ties.
Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Ministry’s National Boundary Commission Nguyen Anh Dung made the remarks at a conference on the border and territory management in the northwestern province of Dien Bien on November 7.
He said that localities have comprehensively performed the border management and protection since the three documents (the Protocol on Border Demarcation and Marker Planting, the Agreement on Border Management, and the Agreement on Border Gates) took effect in July 2010.
The conference heard reports by the Foreign Ministry, the Border Guard High Command and the Ministry of Public Security on issues relating to border management.
Dien Bien shares 360km of its border with Laos and another 41km with China in Muong Nhe district’s Sin Thau and SenThuong communes.
