crimes, hi-tech crimes, human trafficking crimes and criminal and drug-related
cases regarding citizens of Vietnam and Laos, he said.
Public security forces in border provinces and districts of Vietnam and Laos

activities of hostile forces, thus safeguarding the shared borderline of peace,
friendship and contributing to the enhancement of solidarity and reliable
relationship between the people and public security forces of the two nations,
Lam noted.
Regarding cooperation orientations in 2019, he suggested the two ministries
continue the exchange of delegations and work experiences, and coordinate
together to deal with arising problems, not letting hostile forces to distort
and undermine the fine traditional friendship between Vietnam and Laos.
Lam also proposed the two ministries speed up negotiations so as to soon sign
an agreement on the transfer of convicts and another pact on extradition, and
strengthen cooperation in the fight against transnational crimes and hostile
forces.

has helped deepen and reinforce the friendship and special solidarity between
the Parties, States, people and public security forces of Laos and Vietnam.
He spoke highly of the outcomes of cooperation between the two ministries in

height.
