Speaking about regional response efforts, Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Head of the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations, said that organized transnational crime is a major obstacle to peace, security and development in Southeast Asia, of which the most serious are drug trafficking, human trafficking and cybercrime.
In responding to these pressing issues, international cooperation plays an essential role, complementing national efforts.

On this occasion, the Head of the Vietnamese Delegation also shared a number of recommendations to promote regional initiatives in this field, including capacity building and training for law enforcement forces; supporting technology and infrastructure to help ASEAN countries monitor and respond effectively to increasingly sophisticated criminal networks; enhancing the harmonization of laws of countries in the region to facilitate cooperation and coordination; raising public awareness of types of crime, mobilizing people and communities to participate in crime prevention.
