The fifth Vietnam-Myanmar security dialogue at deputy ministerial level took place in Hanoi from July 10-13 under the co-chair of Deputy Minister of Public Security Bui Van Nam and Deputy Minister Aung Soe. The dialogue assessed the implementation of the outcomes reached at the fourth dialogue in the fields of security, police, Interpol cooperation and legal framework building.
They agreed to facilitate all-level visits, further increase the exchange of information regarding security, social safety and order, the fight against drug, terrorist, human trafficking, and transnational crimes.
The two sides will continue speeding up negotiations towards signing agreements, conventions and legal documents in the near future.
