Viet Nam highly values UNODC’s support for ASEAN and the region and calls on the organisation to continue prioritising capacity-building programmes, technical assistance, and the effective implementation of international legal instruments against transnational crime, Vietnamese Ambassador to Austria Vu Le Thai Hoang has said.

The official visit to Thailand by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) Central Committee and State President To Lam marked an important opportunity to shape long-term cooperation more concretely, particularly, as both countries continued to demonstrate strong economic potential and sustained growth.

The Vietnamese and Lao Ministries of Public Security (MPS) have agreed to further strengthen cooperation in combating transnational crime, reaffirming their close coordination in safeguarding security and social order in both countries.
