Thailand, Myanmar Collaborate on Drug Trafficking on Border Regions

Thailand and Myanmar military and police have agreed to collaborate in combating drug trafficking along the border.

Thailand’s General Chalermpol Srisawat, and Myanmar military leader, General Min Aung Hlaing, co-chaired a meeting of the Thai-Myanmar High-Level Committee in Rakhine State.

The meeting was to strengthen military ties between the two countries, maintain peace, and address border security issues.

The two sides are also said to have reaffirmed their commitment to return refugees fleeing fighting in Myanmar and survey and demarcate borders.

Gen. Chalermpol also reported that a military patrol seized 142,000 meth pills in two sacks from the Mekong river’s bank in Nakhon Phanom province. Nobody was detained.
