The Deputy Minister also requested ministries, branches and localities to develop and replicate the model of drug-free communes, wards and towns, with an orientation toward the building of drug-free districts and provinces, while strictly managing drug addicts and drug illegal users so as to apply suitable drug detoxification methods to them.
Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung also requested that the counter-narcotics police force should promote its key role in drug prevention and control, while closely cooperating with the Border Guard, the Coast Guard and the Customs to proactively grasp the situation, detect and bust trans-border drug-trafficking lines, eradicate drug hotbeds, and implement synchronous measures to prevent the formation of complex drugs areas early, from afar.
Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung believed that under the sound leadership of the Party, the Government and with the participation of the authorities at all levels and people’s support, the drug evil will be ruled out from society.
