Border Agreement OKd During Putin’s Visit
From Times Wire Reports
China and Russia settled the last of their border disputes and signed an agreement fixing their 2,600-mile frontier during a visit to Beijing by Russian President Vladimir V. Putin.
The struggle over border areas resulted in violent clashes in the 1960s and 1970s. Beijing and Moscow had agreed on individual border sections in the last decade. But a stretch of river and islands along China’s northeastern border with Russia’s Far East had remained in dispute.
Details of the agreement were not immediately released.
