Relevant Vietnamese and Cambodian agencies have closely coordinated to control the situation in their joint border areas and not let the border matter affect the countries’ friendship, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Le Hai Binh said on July 23.
He made the remark in response to reporters’ queries about measures to prevent the repeat of disturbances in joint border areas.
Vietnam and Cambodia have an agreement on activities in their joint border areas, especially those that have not been demarcated or planted with markers, he said, noting that recent disturbances in Vietnam-Cambodia border areas did not comply with related bilateral agreements.
The countries have also agreed to accelerate the negotiations on, demarcation and planting of border markers along their borderline under reached agreements, Binh added.
The spokesman said Vietnam does not have any comments about Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s sending of letters to the UN Secretary-General and leaders of the UK, the US and France to borrow the Bonne map that defines the borderline between Vietnam and Cambodia.
At the regular press conference, he provided further information that on December 27, 1985, Vietnam and Cambodia signed the Treaty on the Delimitation of National Boundaries between them, which took effect on February 22, 1986. On October 10, 2005, they inked a supplementary agreement to the 1985 Treaty, and the additional document began enforcement on December 6, 2005.
Based on the two agreements, the land border between Vietnam and Cambodia is showed on the Bonne map, scale 1/100,000, and the UTM map, scale 1/50,000, that was enclosed with the 1985 Treaty.
Binh emphasised that the border demarcation and border marker planting is bilateral work between Vietnam and Cambodia and conducted on the basis of the two aforementioned documents and other related bilateral agreements which are in line with international law and practices.-VNA

The Yuon's puppet Hun Sen regime divides up Khmers' lands with Yuon.
No wonder Yuon love this " friendship " !!!.
So many Vietnamese secret agents inside Hun Sen government.
Khmer people need to stay united and win OFFICIALLY this next election first.
If Vietnam and Hun Sen will not relinquish the power after they lost the election, we will have a legal tool (Official win of the election) to defeat Yuon and Hun Sen.
The international community will firmly back Khmer people up if and only if we win the election first.
Remember that the CNRP did not win the 2013 election because the CPP stole the election by self proclaiming that the CPP was the winner.
This next election, with the participation of Japan, the EU, the CPP will not have the ability to declare itself as the winner anymore.
Therefore, Khmer people need to have patience and stay united to win this next election.
