(VOVworld) – Cambodia’s French-based online newspaper vodhotnews.com has reported that Prime Minister Hun Sen said that through unofficial channels Vietnam reached an agreement to share an area between Dak Nong province and Mondulkiri province. Under the agreement, Vietnam would have 60% and Cambodia 40% of the Dak Dam-Dak Huyt region.

A spokesperson for Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry Le Hai Binh said on Monday that Vietnam was verifying the information. He said that Vietnam had sufficient historical and legal evidence to assert its sovereignty over Dak Dam, which borders Cambodia’s Mondulkiri province.
