ASEAN immigration chiefs vow unity

BANGKOK (AFP): ASEAN immigration chiefs meeting in Myanmar
pledged greater cooperation in the fight against international
criminal gangs, said a statement from the ruling junta on
Wednesday.

After two days of talks in Yangon, immigration department
directors from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
said there was an "urgent need for greater cooperation in ... the
fight against transnational crime".

The delegates agreed to "establish a network among the
immigration authorities in ASEAN, especially in the area of law
enforcement", while still allowing for greater intra-ASEAN
travel.
