The National Assembly (NA) on March 30 approved the Cambodia-Laos Border Demarcation Treaty with a unanimous vote of the 105 members present. Senior NA member Hun Many said at the plenary session that the treaty will serve as a “basic document” to further strengthen the remaining demarcation mechanisms between the two countries.

The two sides focused their discussion on measures to ensure the stability of the border and boundary markers in order to contribute to consolidating and building a border of peace, stability, friendship and cooperation for mutual development between the two countries. Accordingly, plans will be rolled out and implemented to address old markers that still exist in the field in areas where the demarcation has been completed; repair a number of border markers that are damaged or at risk of landslide; add a number of poles to clarify the direction of the border line in the field
