China, Vietnam and the Laos defined tri-junction point of national boundaries in Beijing Tuesday, which lies on the Shiceng Dashan Mountain, said the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

 

Wu Dawei, Vu Dung and Ponsavath Boupha, vice foreign ministers of the above three countries, on behalf of each government, signed a treaty on definition of the tri-junction point of the national boundaries in Beijing.

 

The tri-junction point, according to the ministry, is a place "where the peoples in the three countries can hear the crow of the same cock," indicating that peoples from the three countries live in harmony.

 

The ministry said signing the treaty is very important for the stability and development of the boundary areas.

 

Wu also held bilateral talks with Vu Dung and Ponsavath Boupha respectively, exchanging views on issues of common concern frankly.
