Based on the acquired satellite imagery and field work, a topographic database will be produced to enable the preparation of maps at scales from 1:10,000 to 1:500,000, as well as an atlas perfectly describing the demarcation line. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first steering committee is currently being held in Paris; the joint border committee, composed of high-ranking officials from both governments, is present in France during the week of September 23 to 27 to attend a series of working sessions at IGN aimed at validating the preliminary methodology for the various deliverables and thoroughly reviewing the initial stages of the current project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
