Indonesia and Vietnam have agreed to increase cooperation in preventing wildlife trafficking at the second bilateral dialogue in Bali on November 25.

He said that Indonesia wants to strengthen cooperation with Vietnam to fight illegal trade in tiger, armadillo and other wild species because smugglers often use Vietnam as a gateway to China.

The two sides agreed on a memorandum of understanding on cooperating in law enforcement, raising public awareness and human resource training.
