In the time to come, the two units would continue to support and coordinate with each other by exchanging information about key localities, sea areas and border crossings which see bustling activities of drug trafficking. They should join armed patrols along borders to prevent and fight criminal activities, team up to invest special cases to remove armed drug transport lines based in neighboring countries, especially from Laos, into Vietnam.
