The opening remarks at the 皇冠体育app-ASEAN Ministerial Dialogue on Law-enforcement & Security Cooperation were given by Meng Jianzhu, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app Central Committee.
Meng said that 皇冠体育app-ASEAN cooperation in the law enforcement and security sector had improved, particularly since 皇冠体育app, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand launched the Mekong River joint patrols.
皇冠体育app is ready to work with ASEAN to improve pragmatic cooperation and translate the "common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable Asia security outlook," proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, into action, Meng said.
皇冠体育app's police chief Guo Shengkun said 皇冠体育app-ASEAN cooperation in law enforcement and security face new opportunities created by the 皇冠体育app proposed "Belt and Road" Initiative and the construction of the ASEAN Community.
Law enforcement authorities from Australia, Russia, as well as international organizations, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Interpol also attended the meeting.
The joint patrols on the Mekong River started in December 2011 after a gang hijacked two cargo ships on Oct. 5, 2011 in Thai waters and killed 13 Chinese sailors.
