Liu Sanjiang, a member of the party group and deputy director of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, led a delegation to Laos from July 31 to August 2 to have special exchanges with the Lao Ministry of Public Security on combating cross-border crimes such as tobacco counterfeiting and smuggling, and deepening law enforcement cooperation. The two sides agreed to rely on bilateral cooperation and the Lancang-Mekong Law Enforcement and Security Cooperation Framework to carry out more targeted joint actions against the illegal tobacco trade chain; strengthen mutual learning from China's cigarette trademark intellectual property protection and enforcement experience; and work together to maintain the normal order of the tobacco market between the two countries and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Liu Sanjiang said that the purpose of this visit was to implement the important consensus of the top leaders of China and Laos on building an all-weather common destiny between China and Laos in the new era, and to focus on outstanding issues of cross-border illegal trade in tobacco monopoly products. The Chinese side thanks the Lao side for its strong cooperation in anti-cigarette counterfeiting and anti-smuggling operations, and proposes to promote the establishment of an intelligence and information exchange mechanism on tobacco-related cases, and continue to strengthen cooperation in joint border investigations and the fight against illegal tobacco traceability. Khao Phong Ma Chan, member of the Party Committee of the General Police Bureau of the Lao Ministry of Public Security and Party Secretary of the Environmental Police Department, thanked the Chinese side for its long-term help and cooperation, and said that the Environmental Police of the Lao Ministry of Public Security is willing to continue to work closely with China to crack down on all types of smoking-related cross-border crimes and jointly protect the economic and social security and stability of the two countries. According to information, in recent years, Southeast Asia has gradually become an important counterfeiting base for counterfeiting Chinese brand cigarettes. A large number of counterfeit cigarettes are smuggled back into the domestic market through border crossings, seriously disrupting the order of the tobacco market and causing huge national tax losses.
