Thailand, Myanmar to Demarcate Common Boundary -Paper
Xinhua
12-DEC-97
BANGKOK (Dec. 12) XINHUA - Thailand
and Myanmar have agreed to demarcate
their common boundary by dividing it into
10 sectors, according to the Nation
newspaper today.
When a joint survey team is unable to
determine where to locate boundary
pillars in an area of a sector, they will
move to the next area so as not to delay
the demarcation process, the newspaper
quotes Thai Foreign Minister Surrin
Pitsuwan as saying earlier this week.
Thailand and Myanmar used different
maps based on different treaties in their
negotiations on the 2,400 kilometer-long
border, it said.
The agreement on the new survey method
was an outcome of a Thai-Myanmar
boundary meeting in August. Surrin did
not say when the survey is expected to be
completed.
