Particularly the two sides coordinated effectively in fighting drug-related offenses, rescuing victims, apprehending fugitives and controlling illegal immigration.

In addition, the Vietnamese Minister highlighted that existing mechanisms, such as the Ministerial Meeting on Crime Prevention and Control and the Deputy-Ministerial Strategic Security Dialogue, have continued to serve as important platforms for both sides to discuss strategic issues, exchange views and seek solutions to safeguard political security, combat transnational crimes and strengthen strategic trust.

Discussing orientations for the bilateral cooperation, Minister Luong Tam Quang stressed that the two sides should continue close coordination to ensure the absolute security and safety of high-level visits and major political events in each country, protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens of each country, and ensure the safety of diplomatic missions and enterprises of one country in the other.

On this occasion, Minister Luong Tam Quang invited Minister Wang Xiaohong to pay an official visit to Vietnam and co-chair the upcoming 9th Ministerial Meeting on Crime Prevention and Control.
