China and Russia, sharing a 4,300-km-long border,
thoroughly settled their boundary disputes last year
after 40 years of negotiations.
The completion of delimitation and the smooth
implementation of the agreement on strengthening
military trust and mutual reduction of armed forces on
the border areas, as well as the agreement on common
economic use of certain islands in the border rivers
and surrounding waters during the past ten years, are
conducive to peace and friendship on the China-Russia
border areas, the statement says.
The friendly atmosphere on the border areas further
deepens the exchanges and cooperation between
neighboring regions of the two countries, the joint
statement says.
The document also says the two sides reiterated that
they will finish the delimitation of the remaining two
parts of land along the China-Russia boundary line by
the end of 2007. Both sides also pointed out with
satisfaction that the preparation for delimitation is
proceeding as scheduled by both sides.

China and Russia reached the final agreement Wednesday
over the eastern border, putting an end to 40 years of
negotiation.
Chinese Foreign Minster Li Zhaoxing (L) and his
Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov sign an additional
agreement on the eastern part of the Russian-Chinese
border in Vladivostok, Russia, June 2, 2005.
During talks in Vladivostok, Chinese Foreign Minister
Li Zhaoxing and his Russian counterpart, Sergei
Lavrov, exchanged ratification documents by their
parliaments agreeing to share fifty-fifty the last
disputed land, a group of islands totaling 375 square
kilometers. China and Russia share a 4,300
kilometer-long border.
Putin signed a law on Wednesday concerning the
ratification of an additional agreement. He said
earlier that "compromises" were necessary to find a
solution acceptable to the Russian Federation's
interests.
so i am imagining median lines
now being sketched
& soon to be etched
across dry land
with all the best to you for all you do
