KUNMING, July 25 (Xinhua) — Law enforcement agencies from China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand concluded the 155th joint patrol of the Mekong River on Friday, the public security department of southwest China's Yunnan Province said.
The four-day, three-night joint patrol involved seven patrol vessels and more than 100 law enforcement officers from four countries, covering a total of more than 700 km.
The mission included combined water-land inspections in some key water areas of the Mekong River. During the patrol, the relevant law enforcement agencies of the four countries also held an information-sharing meeting in Chiang Saen, Thailand, where they had an in-depth exchange of views on the current security situation in the Mekong River basin, experience in joint law enforcement, and key areas for further law enforcement cooperation. Following the meeting, the parties reached a number of agreements.
In addition, China, Laos and Myanmar will also conduct a joint deployment and training mission in the Mekong waters to further enhance their emergency response capabilities and combat interoperability in real conditions.
The Mekong River, known in China as the Lancangjiang, is one of the most important waterways for transboundary shipping in Southeast Asia. Joint patrols of the Mekong involving China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand have been conducted since December 2011. –0–
