Delimitation of the 7,500-km section of the Russian-Kazakh border will be completed by the end of 2004, the deputy head of the Federal Security Service\'s Federal Border Guard Service, Lt-Gen Alexander Manilov, said on Monday. Manilov and a group of officers are accompanying the first deputy director of the FSB and director of the Federal Border Guard Service, Vladimir Pronichev, in his working visit to Novosibirsk. \"The Russian and Kazakh sides have agreed on the establishment of some 7,000 km of the border line. The agreement on cooperation on border issues between Russia and Kazakhstan, signed by the presidents of the two countries in Astana on 9 January, will accelerate this process,\" Manilov has said. The agreement, besides the delimitation of the border, defines fields of cooperation between the Russian and Kazakh Border Guard Services. \"It is, in the first place, the fight against terrorism, weapons smuggling, drug trafficking and illegal migration, as well as an exchange of information regarding the situation on the border,\" Manilov added. The heads of the Russian and Kazakh Border Guard Services also signed an intergovernmental agreement on the activities of border representatives. \"Now, they are given the status of a state\'s representative on the border,\" Manilov said.
