Photo: Opening Ceremony of Lao & Vietnam new border demarcation (Daensavanh-Laobao)
Permalink   

Laos and Vietnam celebrated the first achievement of an additional
border demarcation project on Friday at the Dansavan-Laobao
immigration checkpoint between Savannakhet province in Laos and Quang
Tri province in Vietnam . ( See the whole set of the ceremony on this
site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/densavanh )

The first two markers installed are part of the project's 826
additional border markers the two nations are scheduled to install by
2014, in a bid to more obviously define the border between the two
nations.

The ceremony was opened by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Foreign Affairs Dr Thongloun Sisoulith and his Vietnamese counterpart
Pham Gia Khiem and was attended by high-ranking officials from both
countries.

The event was held to coincide with the 46 th anniversary of the
establishment of diplomatic relations between Laos and Vietnam .

Laos shares a 2,067-km border with Vietnam . The north-south border is
the longest border Laos shares with any of its neighbours.

Border survey and demarcation with Vietnam started in 1977 and was
basically completed in 1986 with the installation of 214 markers.

But, Dr Thongloun said, “the border markers we installed in the past
were too far away from each other so our two governments agreed to add
more markers to define the border more clearly for future
generations.”

He said the border demarcation project would set in place the
geography that had been determined by historical events.

Well, the putting more border markers probably has nothing to do with the Vietnamese people who seek works in Laos, but to make the border more clearly. This means, something wrong along this border, no doubt. 

To prevent illegal Vietnamese workers, probably Laos should make our law more effective, if we don't want to make wall like Americans do, I suppose.

Don't compare this situation to America illegals immigration problem. Some how I can't imagine millions of Vietnamese poor streaming over to cash starved Laos looking for work. It is not going to happen.

If I were you living in Canada, I would think like you do. That's true. Some prefer to live and work in Laos forever. That was why I suggested that Laos should improve Lao law in connection with the immigration. 

As matter of the fact, our Lao authorities have also concerned about this issue since long time. But needless to say not all Lao authorities in the grass root level are good, there was a gap for them to do the bad thing.

Is this true? I didn't see that on the article. If this is true then Laos just got smaller.

I guess it is a good thing to get those border demarcations in place in order to to avoid misunderstandings in the future. I wish there will be more border crossings too to facilitate easier access to travel - so that more people from all over the world can see the natural beauty of Laos... and vietnam too, and all the other countries in the region.
