After one year of implementing the Prime Minister’s Directive on accelerating the building of more border markers and upgrading of existing markers along the Vietnam-Laos border, the joint working team of Quang Nam and Sekong have demarcated 44 out of 60 locations for new border markers, as well as clearing land mines at 19 locations and along more than 83 km of roads serving the building of border markers.
This is a difficult task as most of the sites are located in mountainous terrain over 1,000m above sea level.
The Quang Nam provincial People’s Committee has worked closely with Se Kong province of Laos in demarcating the locations of the remaining border markers, as set for 2011.
So far the joint border marker team has completed profiles of 18 new border markers and handed them over to border guard forces.
