Chinese and American narcotics control authorities have made significant strides in implementing the bilateral agreement established during the October summit between President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump in Busan, South Korea. The Ministry of Public Security confirmed on Friday that both nations have achieved substantial progress in their joint anti-drug initiatives.
According to official statements, the cooperation has yielded concrete operational results, with multiple joint investigations currently underway. The specialized counternarcotics teams from both countries have maintained consistent communication channels, recently conducting a video conference to assess current progress and identify priority areas for future collaborative efforts.
A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Public Security emphasized that Beijing remains committed to addressing global drug challenges through partnerships based on mutual respect and equal footing. This diplomatic framework established during the Busan meeting has provided the necessary foundation for enhanced operational coordination.
The expanded cooperation represents a continuation of growing anti-narcotics collaboration between the two nations in recent years. The development coincides with China’s domestic strengthening of international verification protocols and export-control measures, as highlighted during Wednesday’s national video conference on narcotics control chaired by State Councilor Wang Xiaohong, who also heads the national anti-drug committee.
Wang’s address called for reinforced cross-regional and international collaboration, signaling China’s comprehensive approach to combating drug trafficking through both bilateral partnerships and strengthened internal mechanisms.
