Dear Int-boundaries friends
My name is Thomas Lunden, I am working at the Swedish institute, a
Government agency promoting Swedish culture and education abroad. I am also
a Guest Professor of Political and Ethnic Geography at the University of
Stockholm doing some research on boundary towns in the Nordic countries and
the Baltic area ( twin towns of Narva-Ivangorod, Valga-Valka and
Haparanda-Tornio).
My question is however related to Central Asia. According to some rumours,
the Kyrghyz president, Akayev, has reached an agreement with China resulting
in a bundary revision between the countries. This would imply a loss of
Kyrghyz territory including the tributary of one of the major rivers. Deos
anybody have further information on this?
Best wishes,
Thomas Lunden
