First of all, “Happy New Year 2008” Everyone. Chuc mung nam moi.
Vietnam is off to a good start for 2008. VietnamNet Bridge just published this article about the completion of the border demarcation and landmark plantings along the border. This is a great step in ensuring friendship and peace between the two countries. It also will help promote greater trade between the two countries.
This article interested me since, coincidentally, I read up on the Sino-Vietnamese War last night. It is amazing how close the two countries have gotten together since the brief one month war in 1979.
I wish Vietnam the best and I hope it continues it’s great effort to promote itself to the global community in 2008.
