Vietnamese, Lao localities speed up border marker planting

(VOV) - Vietnamese and Lao localities aim to complete border marker planting by June 2012 according to a plan approved by the two countries’s Governments.

The borderline between Vietnam’s central Quang Tri province and the Lao provinces of Savannakhet and Salavn will have a total of 68 markers.

Quang Tri is one of ten Vietnamese provinces bordering Laos. So far, 51 markers have been planted along the common borderline.

By the end of this year, about nine more markers are expected to be installed despite hard terrain and harsh weather.
