 Marker No. 30 is located between the Le Thanh and O Yadav border gates in Viet Nam’s Gia Lai province and Cambodia’s Rattanakiri province, respectively.

Meanwhile, marker No. 275 is positioned between the Tinh Bien and Phnom Den border gates in Viet Nam’s An Giang province and Cambodia’s Takeo province.

The two markers, together with marker No.314, were agreed by the two PMs in a Memorandum of Understanding dated April 23, 2011 and the construction commenced after a meeting in Phnom Penh on November 20, 2015 between Chairman of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Joint Committee on Land Border Demarcation Ho Xuan Son and his Cambodian counterpart Va Kim Hong.

The two completed markers are among big markers engraved with the two countries’national emblems at all ten international borders between the two countries. By now, Viet Nam and Cambodia have basically shaped the backbone of the shared marker system.

The inauguration ceremonies are significant events, affirming the rightness of the demarcation and showing the determination of leaders and people of both countries in completing the land border demarcation and marker planting, contributing to the consolidation and enhancement the traditional friendship between the two nations.

The shared border line between Viet Nam and Cambodia is around 1,137km long through 10 provinces of Viet Nam and nine provinces of Cambodia.
