Cambodia, Vietnam to Ask France’s Help to Draw Up Border Map
VOA | 29 November 2016
In late August a committee set up to discuss the issue decided to draft a letter to France asking the former colonial power to assist in resolving the dispute.
PHNOM PENH —
Cambodia and Vietnam reached a possible breakthrough in talks being held to end a dispute over the demarcation of the two country’s borders last week in Siem Reap.
Prime Minister Hun Sen met with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in the northern Cambodian city on Wednesday and agreed to write a joint letter to the French government to request more detailed maps of the border.
“Relating to the border issue … both prime ministers agreed to write a joint letter to request France send mapping experts to help draw up” a new map, Kao Kimhourn, a senior minister, told reporters after the bilateral meeting.
He added that Hun Sen had also asked his Vietnamese counterpart to halt all ongoing construction along the border, without elaborating.
In late August a committee set up to discuss the issue decided to draft a letter to France asking the former colonial power to assist in resolving the dispute.
However, the idea was dropped when the two sides could not agree on the wording of the letter.
Va Kim Hong, head of the border committee, could not be reached.
Yim Sovann, an opposition spokesman, said as well as bilateral discussions, civil society should be involved “to ensure that border demarcation is accurate.”

It's ironic Hun Sen asked the French to

to Yuon.
Didn't the French give Kampuchea Krom
to Yuon already ?
France took the Mekong delta from Vietnam, Then returned it back to Vietnam. Read here:

So, stop accusing French giving Kampuchea Krom giving it to Vietnam. That's why French commanders really hated Khmer. From what I knew, Khmer puppet kings kept making false accusations against the French commanders to blackmail them into doing things.
Khmer Kings wrote false and strange letters to French Emperors complaining weird things about French commanders, like this.
"Why did your commanders keep doing [*****} in Cambodia?"
Then turned around and told the French commanders "If you want the trouble to stop, you must do this for me."
Well, the France's Emperor asked his commanders in Cambodia, "What's going?" And we all knew what happened right? French commanders hated the Khmers with their guts and employed the Vietnamese to run Cambodia.
That'a against the typical colonial rule: Use the minority ethnic to cooperate with, control the majority ethnic.
Ask yourselves again, "What's wrong? Is it true Khmer is the most hated race by the Whites and other races?" Why Cambodian maids were so frequently abused and unwanted oversea?
I am Asian and was very favored by the Whites. They got up at 7AM to drive over to my neighborhood to pick me up for year work in the weekend. They told me, "If you don't come to work, we will have nobody else to help us. You are the only kid we allow to come to our place because you are the future valedictorian of your school and you are very proper."
Anonymous5:52 AM is a Vietnamese dog eater named DrugZet who bragged too much about the Vietnamese land stealers or robbers who killed Khmer, Laos, Cham (Central Vietnam today), other ethnic or minority groups or hill tribes to take their lands, natural resources, islands, etc. The world readers, Khmer readers, Laotian readers, Cham readers or even the UN will ask the evil Yuon/Vietnamese folks and master-minded killers in Hanoi that where the land of came from, how come your country has been stolen from Cambodia, China and Champa and other ethnic groups in the forests, and so on. This poster DrugZet has no shame to brag about the success of Vietnamese/Yuon land thieves. This poster will be running away from the real questions from the readers worldwide like a dog putting its tail between its legs. LOL
