Vietnam-Cambodia border topographic maps to be sent to UN

 

Khmer Circle:

How to legitimise international loots the Vietnamese way?

If the UN declined to produce Cambodia's maps for purposes of clarification deposited there by a legitimate government of the country prior to the war and Vietnam's invasion allegedly for fear of inflaming tension and conflict between the two nations, will it now recognise boundary maps redrawn under Hanoi's discretion and hegemony?   

However this one is dressed up, history will always record it as it really is: theft and foulplay. Not that the thieves themselves care...

PHNOM PENH, Aug 29 (Bernama): Cambodian border affairs committee chairman Var Kimhong said the government will send newly-drawn Vietnam-Cambodia border topographic maps to the UN for international recognition, Vietnam news agency reported.

Speaking at the ceremony to hand over the maps to 35 Cambodian ministries and state institutions at the Peace Palace, Phnom Penh on Thursday, Var Kimhong considered the border topographic maps scaled at 1:25,000 as a "historic achievement” for Cambodia.

"We plan to send the topographic maps to be kept at the United Nations,” he was quoted by Khmer Times as saying, adding that the Cambodian government will negotiate with Vietnam to demarcate the remaining 16 per cent of the border.

The map represented 84 per cent of border demarcation work completed between the two nations which have been implemented since 2006.

Kimhong said the maps were made based on the original maps of 1:100,000 scale produced during the French colonial era.

The handover ceremony took place under the presidency of Samdech Pichey Sena Tea Banh, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence.

The map is an indispensable appendix to the Vietnam-Cambodia land border demarcation protocol signed on October 5, 2019, and the supplementary treaty to the 1985 Treaty on the Delimitation of National Boundaries and the 2005 Supplementary Treaty.

On August 1, Vietnamese and Cambodian officials exchanged border topographic maps at 1:25,000 scale at Moc Bai international border gate in Vietnam’s southern province of Tay Ninh.

The Vietnamese delegation was led by Deputy Foreign Minister and Chairman of the Vietnam-Cambodia Joint Committee on Border Demarcation and Marker Planting, Le Hoai Trung while the Cambodian delegation was headed by Var Kim Hong.

The two sides examined and agreed on all 500 sets of border topographic maps, including 250 in Vietnamese-Khmer languages and 250 others in Khmer-Vietnamese languages, with signatures of the two countries’ relevant authorities. Each side keeps 250 sets.

The event laid an important foundation for both sides to hold a ceremony to exchange a document approving the validity of the supplementary treaty to the 1985 Treaty on the Delimitation of National Boundaries and the 2005 Supplementary Treaty, and the Vietnam-Cambodia land border demarcation protocol.

Both sides agreed to inform each other of the schedule for the ceremony via diplomatic channels, after the two Governments end measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc signed an acknowledgement of both countries’ border marker planting, which achieved 84 percent, in Hanoi on October 5, 2019.

Since Khmer/Cambodian people as a whole across the country have been suffering so much and going to be killed slowly in the hand of hidden Vietcong/Yuon in Hun Sen regime, then all Khmer people will consider to do something to kill Hun Sen, a traitor and killer.

Hun Sen must be killed and destroyed by millions of Khmer heroes and put a shame of evil Vietnamese/Yuon bastards in Hanoi and will make it well known to the world that Vietnam is a land of thieves and nation of thieves on the planet.

Hun Sen has been under the control of secret Vietnamese agents hiding among Khmer society. We know who they are, that served and protected Hun Sen under the Hanoi's provision and supervision. That is why Hun Sen is a Vietnamese/Yuon puppet who wants to stay in power and get away from being punished as the killers.

The world or international community is still not aware that Vietnamese communists killers in Hanoi are playing very nice, kind and trying to fool the world that the land and water they claimed belong to Cambodian/Khmer people and also in the North land and water belong to other nations such as Philippine people.
