Việt Nam, China enhance drug prevention

BEIJING – Vietnamese and Chinese authorities joined hands to destroy more than 96 kilogrammes of drugs in Guangxi province’s Chongzuo city on June 24.

The drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine, and ecstasy, were seized during the two sides’ raids in the border areas.

Head of the anti-drug division under the Lạng Sơn Province Police Nguyễn Bá Hương said Vietnamese and Chinese police have coordinated to counter cross-border drug crimes through various communications forms, such as meetings and talks between the relevant forces.

Meanwhile, Duan Ran, member of the standing committee of the Chongzuo party organisation, said the event illustrates the two countries’ joint efforts in the prevention work, as well as their resolve to cooperate to stamp out drug crimes and build a shared borderline of safety. VNS
