US INL helps Isan to fight illegal trafficking
Today 12:14Key points summarised by AI
Illegal drug trafficking is rapidly increasing across the Greater Mekong Sub-region, with criminals shifting routes to Thailand's Isan region, leveraging its extensive Mekong River border and complex networks.
The US International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Office (INL) donated over US$370,000 in equipment to Thai police, aiming to bolster efforts against transnational crime and enhance security along the Mekong River in the Northeast.
This crucial support addresses a worsening situation, as nearly 100 million methamphetamine tablets were seized in Isan last year, underscoring the region's vulnerability and the escalating threat from criminal networks.
The INL plans to expand funding, training, and technology donations to empower Thai law enforcement to effectively patrol remote borders and counter increasingly sophisticated trafficking methods.
