The Lao head delegate also thanked the Quang Nam Provincial Police Department for supporting the Se Kong Provincial Police Department in all working fields, especially in training and building capacity of Lao police officers, funding for key infrastructure projects as well as providing the Lao police department with technical equipment and facilities in support of its professional work.

The Se Kong Provincial Police Department’s Deputy Director requested the participants to carefully study lectures so that they can apply their acquired knowledge and skills into their practical work after the training course.

During the training course, lecturers from the People’s Police University and high-profile police officers from the Quang Nam Provincial Police Department are expected to lecture a number of specialized topics on investigation of drug-related cases.
