The completion of this work along the entire Vietnam-China border is of great historical significance as this is the first time in history that both countries have defined their land border precisely and clearly with a modern system of border markers.

The event is considered to have laid a legal foundation for relevant agencies from both countries to manage the border more effectively in the interests of peace, friendship and expanded socio-economic cooperation between Vietnam and China.

After over nine years of implementing the Vietnam-China Land Border Agreement, Quang Ninh province has identified 101 landmarks on more than 102km of the common border.

The newly-built border markers have been handed over to border guard stations.
