Addressing the opening session, Vietnam’s Minister of Public Security Tran Dai Quang said that the world and the Asia-Pacific region in particular are facing new challenges that threaten security and interests of nations, requiring their law enforcement agencies to coordinate more closely and timely carry out measures to ensure a peaceful and happy life of each nation and for peace, stability, development and prosperity in the region and the world.
He appreciated existing cooperation mechanisms between law enforcement agencies of ASEAN countries, between ASEAN and its partners and dialogue partners, including the ASEAN-China ministerial meeting on cross-border crime prevention.
He expressed hope that these mechanisms will continue working effectively in the time ahead.
