Addressing the conference, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Long, Deputy Minister of Public Security, noted that all four countries are directly affected by global drug trafficking complications.
Vietnam proposed that the ministries responsible for public security and internal affairs in China, Laos, and Myanmar jointly implement a three-month campaign from June 15 to September 15, 2026, focusing on border provinces and other drug-crime hotspots in each country.
The conference adopted a joint action plan featuring several key cooperation measures, including enhanced information sharing through hotlines and Border Liaison Office (BLO) networks; tighter control of border areas, checkpoints, land, river, sea, and air routes; and coordinated investigations targeting transnational drug trafficking networks and major trafficking corridors.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) 2025 report, seizures of synthetic drugs in East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific rose 18% compared with 2024.
The Golden Triangle remains a major source of synthetic narcotics for regional and global markets.
