Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia reinforce fight against drug trafficking

5/11/2009


Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia agreed to intensify activities to combat cross-border drug trafficking at the ministerial level meeting on anti-drug cooperation which opened in Ho Chi Minh City on November 4.

“The fight against drug trafficking is the three countries’ joint struggle with each success being shared by all,” said Deputy Prime Minister Truong Vinh Trong, who is also Chairman of the Vietnam National Committee for AIDs, Drug and Prostitution Prevention and Control.

The participants also agreed on the need to further improve the efficiency of coordinated activities, operations, and the exchange of information among drug watchdogs and liaison offices to enhance tripartite cooperation in the fight.

Thanks to the intensive exchange of information, investigative agencies from the three countries brought to light many big transnational drug trafficking rings last year.
