The Hanoitimes - The command of the border guard force in northern Lao Cai province has created an office in charge of issues arising along the shared border with China . The establishment of the representative office ushered in a new chapter in the management of the shared border in Lao Cai province and the entire Vietnam-China land border. The land borderline passes through Vietnam 's northern provinces of Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Lang Son and Quang Ninh. Vietnam and China have for the first time agreed on a border representative mechanism to handle the maintenance and protection of the border and to solve issues in a timely fashion. The unified border representative mechanism is expected to contribute to enhancing external relations between the two countries' border guard forces, as well as exchanges between border people, all while maintaining political stability and facilitating socio-economic development in Lao Cai province. The agreement on Vietnam-China land border management regulations signed on November 18, 2009, became effective on July 14, 2010. KTD |
