Russia and China have finally resolved frontier problems. The parties signed Monday a border demarcation pact for the line via the Amur River. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi inked the respective document July 21, 2008.
Until recently, the demarcation line of Russia and China hadn’t been completely determined in its eastern portion, to be more precise in part of four islands in the Amur River.
The pact that specifies a border line in eastern Russia has finally settled demarcation of border negotiated for more than 40 years, the RF Foreign Ministry said in the statement.
