says tripartite discussions regarding the demarcation of the <br/>
china laos vietnam tripoint were held in february<br/>
& it was agreed to erect the marker on mount khouanlasan<br/>
aka khouanglasan in vietnamese or sueseungtasane in chinese<br/>
but there is no mention of whether the tripoint is at the summit<br/>
or elsewhere on the mountain<br/>
<br/>
the geoposition given by grant in message 6707 may be <br/>
accurate enough to settle the matter tho<br/>
if we can ever find a good enough map of the area</div>
