Gangs usually transfer drugs from the Golden Triangle to Vietnam and Laos either for consumption or transport to other markets, police said.

 

They choose Vietnam and Laos because both countries share a long border of 2,300 kilometers and neighbor China, Thailand and Myanmar, facilitating drug trafficking, officials said at a conference on drug prevention and control of Vietnamese and Lao police held Wednesday in Hanoi.

 

Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Deputy Minister of Public Security, told the conference that drug traffickers have taken full advantage of the policy to open borders to boost socio-economic development between Laos and Vietnam and operate more actively than before.
