Kon Tum (VNA) - Work started for the planting of the 21st landmark on the Viet Nam-Cambodia borderline in the area between Vietnam’s Kon Tum province and Cambodia’s Ranatakiri province on July 9. The landmark, built by the Steering Board for Demarcation and Landmark Planting and the technical teams for demarcation and landmark planting of the two provinces, is the first erected in the border area between the two provinces. The two provinces plan to finish the planting of five landmarks on their common borderline in July. According to Dang Xuong Hung, deputy head of the Department for Western Border of the Border Committee, the Foreign Ministry, said that as many as 374 landmarks will be planted on the 1,137-km borderline between Viet Nam and Cambodia. They include 22 landmarks to be planted on the nearly 100-km borderline between Kon Tum and Ranatakiri provinces. Technical teams of the two sides have defined positions for the planting of 22 designated landmarks from now until 2008. Representatives of Ranatakiri and Kon Tum provinces' authorities and relevant agencies of the two sides said that the landmark planting would help tighten friendship and cooperation between the two neighbouring countries and provinces as well.-Enditem.
