He also added that the fight against drug-related crimes was a challenging struggle.

Speaking to the participating police officers from 20 different countries, Senior Colonel Vu Quoc Thang highlighted the Vietnamese Government's policy on drug prevention and fight. He explained that drug prevention and control is always a key, urgent, frequent but long-time task. He emphasized that Vietnam takes a hard-line with drugs and wishes other countries in the region to have high determination to roll back drug-related crime and strive to build a drug-free region.

Senior Colonel Thang expressed his thanks to the Australian Government, the AFP, the Dutch Police and RMIT University for their support, and wished the course great success.
