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.
