Ba Ria-Vung Tau (VNA) – A delegation of the Thai Office of the Narcotics Control Board led by Deputy Secretary-General Apikit Ch.rojprasert visited and has a working session with the Coast Guard Region 3 Command on November 25 in Vung Tau city, the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

During the session, Apikit thanked units under the Vietnam Coast Guard for sharing their experience in drug prevention and control. He said that Thailand will boost cooperation and information sharing with competent Vietnamese agencies in the sector.

Colonel Nguyen Duc Hieu, Deputy Commander of the Coast Guard Region 3 Command, proposed the Thai agency strengthen information exchange with the Vietnam Coast Guard, support the verification and investigation of information related to drug trafficking by sea.

Hieu suggested establishing a hotline between the Vietnam Coast Guard and the Thai Coast Guard in combating crime, particularly drug crime.

He said the two sides need to further promote patrol and control in the adjacent sea area between the two countries, improve the efficiency of detecting, preventing and promptly handling violations and crimes, while coordinating to organise training courses, share experiences in using modern equipment and support the improvement of drug control capacity by sea./.
