Alarmed by an “unusual” increase in drug abuse in mountainous and border areas, Vietnam will strive to strengthen international cooperation in tackling drug trafficking.
The government has said in a statement posted on its website this week that a campaign will be also launched to increase people’s awareness of the harmful consequences of drug abuse and to curb smuggling in border areas.
“Cooperation will be strengthened with countries in the region, especially those on the border, to detect, investigate and bust transnational drug smuggling rings,” according to a decision signed by Prime Minister Nguyen
