The additional agreement between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on the Russian-Chinese state border in its eastern part signed in Beijing on 14 October 2004 determines the line of the border in two sections (in the area of Bolshoi Island in the upper reaches of the Argun’ River (Chita Oblast) and in the area of the Tarabarov and Bolshoi Ussuriisky Islands at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers near Khabarovsk). It stipulates a resolution of border issues in the two sections in accordance with principles of mutual understanding and mutual compliance, mutual acceptance and balance, and equality of both parties. The territory of both sections (about 375 km) is distributed approximately equally.
