Remarkable effects achieved in joint patrol of the Mekong

As the 41st China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand joint patrol of the Mekong came to a successful end, more than 170 law enforcement personnel recently disembarked at Guanlei Harbour in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

During the joint patrol, the four countries sent a total of ten law enforcement boats. The action lasted four days and three nights. In the Golden Triangle, the personnel searched for illegal action, visited local people, organised anti-drug publicity events and carried out cultural exchanges. In addition, they also intensified efforts to prevent and combat transnational crimes along the Mekong.

During the joint patrol and law enforcement, the four sides held a multilateral information exchange conference in Muang Mo, Laos, sharing the current security situation in the Mekong Basin and arriving at further consensus on closer cooperation and more joint law enforcement. The joint law enforcement personnel patrolled 512 kilometres from China’s Guanlei Harbour to the Golden Triangle Area.

With the combined efforts of the four countries, joint patrol of the Mekong are currently conducted on a monthly basis. The four sides’ law enforcement bodies are carrying out more frequent exchanges and closer cooperation. Their joint maritime search and rescue, emergency responses to major epidemic situations and anti-drug operations are effectively safeguarding the security and stability of the Mekong Basin.
