China wants to cooperate further with Laos on law enforcement and
security in the Mekong River basin, said Chinese security chief Meng
Jianzhu.
Meng made this statement in a meeting
with Sylavong Somkeo, Lao acting minister of public security, in Beijing
on September 1.
He called on both sides to
consolidate their collaboration in traditional areas of mutual
cooperation, and expand into other fields such as anti-terror, illegal
immigration and cyber crime.
For his part, Somkeo affirmed that Laos is willing to work with China to boost law enforcement and security cooperation.
Earlier, the Lao official held talks with Chinese State Councillor
and Minister of Public Security Guo Shengkun, during which the two
parties signed a number of cooperative agreements.-VNA
