Based on the agreement on anti-smuggling cooperation signed on November 26, 1993 by the General Department of Vietnam Customs and the General Administration of Customs of China, the two Customs administrations held the 15th conference on Vietnam - China customs cooperation in anti-smuggling, taking place in Hanoi on November 23-24.
The Vietnam Customs delegation was led by Deputy Director of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department (General Department of Vietnam Customs), Vu Quang Toan, and the China Customs delegation was led by Deputy Director of the Anti-Smuggling Department of the General Administration of Customs of China, Vuong Hoa.
At the Conference, the two sides reported on their achievements in combating smuggling and trade fraud. In addition, the two Customs administrations agreed that the increasingly complicated smuggling along border routes shared between Vietnam and China requires the two countries' customs administrations to work closer on law enforcement and fight against smuggling to ensure a healthy environment for their legitimate businesses.
