KL, Phnom Penh to combat drugs

KUALA LUMPUR (AP): Malaysia and Vietnam have agreed to work together to fight drug trafficking and cooperate in law enforcement, a news report said on Monday.

Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told the national Bernama news agency that the two Southeast Asian countries want to exchange experience and knowledge on new, sophisticated crime- fighting methods.

Abdullah was speaking after hosting a lunch for visiting Vietnamese public security minister Le Minh Huong.

Huong, who arrived on Sunday, is in Malaysia for three days to exchange information on crime, international terrorism, money laundering and drug trafficking.

The Vietnamese and his 10-member delegation later visited the National Drug Agency.
