China and Tajikistan say that they have settled a century-old border dispute, after the Central Asian nation agreed to cede land to China.
The Tajik parliament voted on Wednesday to ratify a 1999 deal handing over 386 square miles (1,000 sq km) of land in the remote Pamir mountain range.
The Tajik foreign minister said that this represented 5.5% of the land that Beijing had sought.
China said the move thoroughly resolved the border dispute.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei gave no details on the treaty. - BBC
