BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- China and
Vietnam's ministers of public security Wednesday agreed to push forward
cooperation on combating crime.
The pledge came out of the sixth
China-Vietnam public security ministerial meeting on cooperation against crime,
attended by Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi
and Vietnamese Minister of Public Security To Lam.
Zhao said he hoped that the two sides
would "seriously implement the important consensus reached by their
leaders, continuously deepen pragmatic cooperation in safeguarding national
security, anti-terrorism, combating transnational crimes, immigration
management and establishing the security cooperation mechanism for major
projects."
To Lam, who is also a member of the
Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, said
Vietnam was willing to further strengthen pragmatic cooperation with China in various
fields such as law-enforcement and security.
