Excellency,

I have the honour to refer to Your Excellency's Note

No. RAN/111/1/78 dated 4 September 1978 which reads as follows:

"I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between

the Government of the Republic of India and tfcs Gove /inner: i of

tha Kingdom of Thailand on the delimitation of tsabc-f' boundary

between .the two countries in the Andaman Sea, signed at Ktw Delhi

on Juse 22, 1978. In the chart annexed to the authenticated text

of the Agreement, the words "Maritime Boundary" and f'Seabsd

Boundary" have beers shown in brackets in the title. Since the

agreei title of the Agreement refers to the delimj cation of Seabed^

JBoundary^ between our two countries, a technical error thus has

crepiTTrf.

2.

I have the honour to propose that the titJe part in the

chart be corrected to read cs follows:

"India - Thailand Seabed Bcrrr-daary"

and this text will replace the earlier incorrect t:itlee

3.

1 have the honour further to propose that this Kote and

Yeur Excellency's reply concurring therein constitute an integral<

part of the Agreement of June 22, 1978."

In reply, I have the honour to inform Your Excellency

that the Goverswient of the Kingdom of Thailand agrees to the

proposal contained in the Note under refsrence, and further agrees

that the present Note and trie Note under reference shall constitute

en integral part of the 1978 Agreement on the delimitation of

seabed boundary "between our two countries in the Anrtaman Sea.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest

consideration.
