Further cooperation between ASEAN member nations and with their dialogue partners are needed in combating trans-national crimes involving drug and human trafficking, terrorism and high technologies for the sake of peace, stability and development in the region.
Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Public Security Lt. Gen. Le Quy Vuong made the statement at the opening session of the 13th ASEAN Senior Officials’ Meeting on Trans-national Crime (SOMTC) and related meetings in the central city of Da Nang on June 19.
Vietnam is committed to implementing statements on combating crimes issued at ASEAN Summits and SOMTCs to successfully realise the overall plan on building the ASEAN Political-Security Community and an ASEAN Community by 2015, he said.
Acting as a preparatory meeting serving the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Trans-national Crimes (AMMTC), this SOMTC focuses on how to combat terrorism and human trafficking.
Besides joint meetings, the heads of ASEAN delegations will share experience and ways to fight crimes in their countries and seek to boost collaboration in the area.
ASEAN’s consultations and meetings with dialogue partners, including China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union and the US will take place in a bid to work out information sharing mechanisms, programmes to enhance anti-terrorism capacity and orientations for coordination in the fight against transnational crimes.
