A
Myanmar-China border liaison office was opened in Ayeyar Ward, Myitkyina in
Kachin State this morning.
The
purpose of opening the office is not only to fight against illegal drug trade
but also to crack down on transnational crimes such as human trafficking, arms
smuggling and making counterfeit money and at the same time, ensure peace,
stability and rule of law along the border between the two countries.
“Myanmar
shares a border with China and both countries have maintained very good and
sustainable bilateral relations for a long time. We have overcome many
difficulties for decades. The two governments also cooperated in the areas of
peace and stability in border areas, rule of law, anti-drug campaigns and human
trafficking based on our existing friendship. Everybody knows we achieved many
successes in various sectors.
I
would like to urge those present to strengthen existing friendships by
protecting each other in order to speed up anti-drug drives between the two
countries in the future,” said Maj-Gen Aung Soe, Deputy Minister for Home
Affairs at the ceremony.
Mr.
Liang Yun, Executive Secretary General and the Director General of the Office
of National Narcotics Control Commission (ONNCC) under the Ministry of Public
Security of China also gave a speech.
The
deputy minister then presented a commemorative gift to the Chinese director
general. Officials from both sides pressed the button to open signboard of the
office and had a documentary photo taken.
The
ceremony was attended by around 50 people including Kachin State Minister for
Security and Border Affairs Col Thura Myo Tin, the chief of Kachin State police
force Police Col Zaw Khin Aung, Chinese guests, local authorities from the
General Administration Department, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and
