Senior Colonel Nguyen Quang Chi, Deputy Director of the Department of “All People Protecting National Security” Movement Building (V28), briefed the participants in the meeting on the results of the talks between the V28 and the Lao’s Department of Household Registration and Grassroots-Level Building held in the morning.

He also underlined that the public security forces of the two countries should focus on law and information dissemination and mass mobilization to improve people’s awareness of drug-related crime and prevent them from being involved in such crimes.
