>> Laos-Vietnam drug trafficking ring busted Vietnamese prosecutors and their Lao counterparts have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in fighting transnational crime, especially drug trafficking. The prosecutors, from Vietnamese and Lao border provinces, made the agreement at the third meeting held in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on June 28 to boost bilateral ties in procuracy. The event, which will be wrapped up today,  was also attended by many top prosecutors from the two countries’ supreme people’s procuracies, central military procuracies and border guard force procuracies among others. The meeting was aimed at reviewing recent cooperation between Vietnam and Laos  in combating crimes and suggests measures to boost the ties in the future,  particularly those related to transnational and drug crimes, said Vietnamese Deputy Prosecutor General Tran Cong Phan. The event is part of cooperation activities between the two procuracy institutions, showing  their determination to maintain and develop the traditional friendship and comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and Laos. Bilateral cooperation in the field of procury also help maintain public security in the region, building a borderline of peace, friendship and cooperation, and contributing to meeting the socio-economic development goals of both countries.

One of the good examples for the close and effective cooperation between anti-drug police of both countries was the raid on the houses of three drug traffickers in Laos on May 1. 

During the raid, border guards in Vietnam’s northwestern Dien Bien province and a security unit of Laos’ Phongsaly province seized 34 cakes of heroin, 15.3kg of heroin powder, 64.5kg of additives used in heroin processing, five guns, 186 K56 rounds of ammunition, more than 1,000 rounds for sport guns, and 28kg of dynamite.
