According to a report delivered at the meeting, the Party Committees and administrations of Son La and Hoa Binh provinces have given drastic directions to local authorized forces to coordinate closely with specialized forces of the Ministry of Public Security so as to fight drug crime and other crimes, reaping important outcomes. From September 2016 to August 2017, police of Son La and Hoa Binh, in coordination with the ministry’s C47 Department and relevant localities, cracked down on 107 cases and arrest 240 suspects. They also seized 153.42kg of heroin, 250.82kg and 134,160 synthetic drug pills, along with a number of related documents and assets.

Communications activities have proved effective in encouraging people to surrender weapons and explosive materials to police. Local security and order have been improved while political security has been ensured. Criminal activities have also been suppressed, contributing to local socio-economic development.

At the meeting, Deputy Minister Le Quy Vuong and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang applauded the outcomes obtained by Hoa Binh, Son La and relevant agencies.

Regarding focal tasks in the time ahead, the deputy minister asked the Party Committees and People’s Committees of Hoa Binh and Son La to reinforce and improve operations of local political systems, especially in communes and villages, thereby promoting the capacity of managing, steering and implementing the assigned political tasks, particularly promoting the "All people protect the Fatherland’s security” movement, strengthening defence-security in border areas, and preventing drug trafficking into Vietnam.

He also ordered police and border guard forces to drastically combat drug-related criminals in Loong Luong, Hang Kia and Pa Co communes and nearby areas. They must pay attention to criminals who are in the wanted list and continue to involve in drug crime.

The forces need to coordinate with relevant ministries and sectors to submit to the Government socio-economic development plans so as to make these areas no longer isolated and improve the material and spiritual life of local residents, especially Mong ethnics.
