06Readjustment the boundaries along the Mekong River

 

Mekong River

 

 

The French concession took the form of the agreement to readjust the boundaries along the Mekong River. Confidential and secret letters were exchanged when the Franco-Thai non-aggression pact was signed on June 12, 1940.

 

The contents of these letters were significant for they confirmed that France that France had agreed to move the Thai-Lao boundary along the Mekong River to the line of the thalweg and to recognize any territory on the western side of the thalweg as Thai.

In other words, any islets close to the Thai shore would belong to Thailand for administrative convenience although the Thais recognized all islands as part of French Indo-China.
