consultation and showing mutual understanding:and mutual accommodation in ac-
cordance with the rive Principles of peaceful 'coexistence, have overcome various
difficulties, and have eventually reached a successful and overall settlement
of the question of the boundary between the two countries; and
Firmly believing that the formal delimitation of the entire boundary at
between their() countries and its emergence as a boundary of peace and friend-
ship not only represent a milestone in the further development of the friendly
relations between China and Burma, but also constitute an important contribu-
tion to the safeguarding of Asian and World peace;
