Cambodian and Chinese anti-drug experts met on Friday and vowed to
further enhance bilateral cooperation to combat all forms of
cross-border drug offences.
Speaking at the 3rd Cambodia-China
Bilateral Meeting on Drug Control Cooperation, Lt. Gen. You Sunlong,
secretary general of Cambodia's National Authority for Combating Drugs
(NACD), said the meeting was a good opportunity for both sides to
discuss ways and measures to heighten the effectiveness of cooperation.
"Cambodia
is pleased to see good cooperation with China in combating drug" he
said. "With close cooperation, we have timely prevented and cracked down
on cross-border drug offences."
He believed that with the spirit
of solidarity, friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding, the
two countries' anti-drug cooperation will be further strengthened and
expanded in coming years.
Chen Xufu, deputy secretary general of
China's National Narcotics Control Commission (NNCC), highly valued the
good cooperation between the two countries in combating drug.
He
pledged to continue deepening the drug control cooperation with Cambodia
and believed that the close cooperation will lead to effective and
timely suppression of all forms of trans-border drug trafficking.
After the meeting, both sides agreed to enhance the drug control cooperation through exchanges of visits and information.
"Both
sides agreed to take practical measures to further promote drug control
cooperation in the fields of intelligence sharing, suspects arresting,
and personnel training," said the agreed minutes.
Both sides also
agreed to provide mutual assistance and support in drug control
cooperation. In this context, the NNCC agreed to continue providing
equipment and technical assistance to the NACD and supporting capacity
building for Cambodian anti-drug officials in 2013.
Cambodia and
China signed a memorandum of understanding on combating illicit
trafficking and abuse of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and
