Joint Mekong Patrol Completed

A joint law enforcement team of over 170 members from China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand ended their 41^st joint patrol enforcement along the Lancang-Mekong River at Guanlei Port, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of China’s Yunnan Province. This marked the successful completion of this four-year joint operation since 2011.

The four countries dispatched a law enforcement fleet made up of ten vessels for joint patrols in Golden Triangle waters. The ships carried out joint investigations, seizures, visits and anti-drug publicity and cultural exchanges. A multilateral information exchange workshop was held at the Lao liaison site, where information on current security situations was exchanged.

Since the official launch of the multinational joint Mekong enforcement patrol on December 10, 2011, 41 joint patrols have been carried out, effectively improving shipping safety along the Mekong. Currently, joint patrols and law enforcement measures are carried out on a monthly basis.
