KUNMING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — Law enforcement agencies from China, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam agreed to step up efforts to combat transnational telecommunications and internet fraud at a meeting held in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, on Friday.
Officials from six countries held in-depth discussions on strengthening cross-border cooperation and reached a number of agreements, according to a statement from China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS).
The participants signed the final documents and confirmed their strong commitment to jointly combating transnational telecommunications and internet fraud, the statement said.
The countries will conduct joint operations, establish regular coordination mechanisms, improve intelligence sharing, and continue the extradition and transfer of individuals involved in this type of criminal activity, the statement said.
In recent years, China has expanded cooperation with law enforcement agencies in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, developing effective mechanisms that have yielded significant results. Their joint efforts have dealt a serious blow to criminal groups involved in gambling and fraud.
Since the beginning of this year, China, Myanmar and Thailand have established a trilateral coordination mechanism and jointly carried out an operation in Myanmar's Myawaddy district to neutralize organized crime groups involved in gambling and fraud, resulting in the extradition of more than 5,500 criminal suspects to China, the ISS said.
Chinese and Laotian police conducted a joint operation to target telecom fraud rings in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone in Laos, arresting more than 600 suspects.
In a special joint operation to combat telecom fraud and online gambling crimes, Chinese and Vietnamese police successfully arrested 149 suspects, while Chinese and Cambodian law enforcement officers detained 2,141 suspects in Cambodia, all of whom were extradited to China.
The PRC's Ministry of Security will continue to deepen international cooperation, promote joint operations, dismantle fraudulent dens, and more vigorously pursue suspects, the agency concluded. -0-
