Hello and welcome to this edition of Reports from Developing Countries here on China Radio International. I'm Zheng Chenguang in Beijing.

In today's program:
A center in Rwanda helps former child soldiers return to normal life.
Indonesia resumes maritime borders talks with Vietnam.
And a survey shows Vietnam's rich-poor gap is widening.
Stay tuned!

One of the saddest consequences of conflicts in Africa is that they have not only robbed children of their childhood but often turned them into brutal killers. But one center in Rwanda is doing its best to help some of the Rwandan child soldiers return to normal life. UN Radio's Diane Bailey recently visited Rwanda and saw first hand what is being done at the center.

That was a report from UN Radio.

Now let's take a look at other news from the developing world.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said the country will begin a new round of maritime borders talks with Vietnam and Palau this year.
Wirajuda said clear land and maritime borders are a crucial element to keeping the Unitary Republic of Indonesia intact.
He also said Indonesia was in the process of negotiating its borders with East Timor, which was nearly complete.

'Vietnam News', a local newspaper, reported that the income of the richest 20 percent of Vietnamese households was 8.4 times higher than that of the poorest 20 percent of households in 2006, up from a factor of 8.3 in 2004.
　 The newspaper quoted the 2006 survey of Vietnamese households by the country's General Statistics Office, saying the spending of the richest households on housing, electricity and hygiene was 8.8 times higher than that of the poorest.
