160 Burmese Officials Receive Anti-drugs Training in China
Adjust font size:

With the latest training class opening in Kunming on Monday, China has now trained 160 Burmese officials in how to crack down on drug trafficking.

 

This training class comes after an agreement was reached between China and Myanmar in anti-drug cooperation. Since 2002, the Yunnan Police College, authorized by the National Narcotics Control Commission and Ministry of Public Securities, started to train the Burmese officials.

 

The officials will discuss the global anti-drug situation during the one-month course and some methods of drug testing and narcotics control will also be shown in the class, said Yu Yanjing, president of the college.

 

Yu added that the Burmese officials will also learn mandarin and Kung Fu.

 

"We really treasure this training opportunity in China and we will work hard here," said Captain Shwe Nyar Maung.

 

He said the Burmese government attaches great importance to the training class and thinks it is crucial to promote the anti-drug cooperation between the two nations. It hopes that more officials can receive similar training in China.

 

Part of the notorious drug source "golden triangle" is located in the north of Myanmar, which makes the anti-drug campaign in Myanmar a tough task. It also affects the nearby Yunnan Province. According to the provincial public security department, Yunnan seized 4.1 tons of drugs between January and May.
