Border demarcation, transport and electricity purchase agreements were on the agenda of a meeting between Lao Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Vientiane yesterday, the Lao newspaper Vientiane Times reported today.
The meeting took place when the Cambodian leader is in Laos for five days to attend the 5th Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam Development Triangle Summit, scheduled on Nov. 25-26.
The two prime ministers committed to continue demarcating their shared border and the possibility of opening more border checkpoints to facilitate cross-border trade between the two countries.
Bouasone suggested officials from both countries to talk about Laos using a seaport in Sihanoukville in Cambodia's Khampong Saom province. This was agreed to in 1995, but no action has been taken since then.
He also informed Hun Sen about a power grid which has been established in Khong district in Champassak province and reaches the Cambodian border. He said the two countries should discuss the possibility of Cambodia purchasing electricity from Laos.
Both prime ministers also witnessed the signing of an agreement on investment protection between Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongloun Sisoulith, and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong.
