Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan said Tuesday that the country will expedite overland boundary demarcation with Cambodia and expects to fully complete the process by 2015.

Speaking at a meeting with Cambodian Parliament Chief Heng Samrin, Nhan said that so far, the two countries have completed about 75 percent of the border demarcation.

"Vietnam is committed to building a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development with Cambodia," said Nhan, who is also President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee.

For his part, Heng Samrin said a clear border line would lay the foundation for building peace, stability, cooperation, and development along border provinces.

He highly spoke of good relations and cooperation between the two neighbors in all fields of cooperation.

Cambodia shares 1,270 km of border with Vietnam to the east.
