Laos and Thailand have reached a new agreement to complete their land border demarcation by the end of 2006, and river border demarcation by the year 2008. The agreement was reached during the recently concluded 14th meeting of the Joint Lao-Thai/Thai-Lao Cooperation Commission.
The two sides have also agreed to set up more border coordination centers, from the current two to eight, in order to more effectively combat drug trafficking and all other forms of crime.
