Dear Victor,
As far as I am aware, Bhutan and China are still negotiating the precise
alignment of their boundary. A fairly detailed account of their
discussions up to 2002 and the text of the 1998 Agreement to Maintain
Peace and Tranquillity on the Bhutan-China Border can be found at
http://www.bhutannewsonline.com/bhutan_china.html. A news report posted
by Brendan Whyte to this forum last July (http://tinyurl.com/2mo6py)
indicated that a final delimitation has yet to be agreed.
It was reported last month that with the exception of the two tripoints
with China, the Bhutan-India border has now been fully demarcated (see
http://www.dur.ac.uk/ibru/news).
Regards,
m a r t i n
