Joint effort sees cross

Thanks to a three-way joint effort against cross-border telecom fraud, six suspects were escorted back to China from Myanmar on Monday, Beijing Daily reported.

The six suspects, who had been captured during an anti-telecom fraud campaign jointly developed by China, Myanmar and Thailand, were transferred by Myanmar police to a working group of Chinese police at Yangon International Airport on Monday.

The Chinese embassy in Myanmar said the capture demonstrates the firm determination of the three countries to fight transnational crimes, especially those involving gambling and fraud.

The embassy said China will continue strengthening cooperation with Myanmar and Thailand in law enforcement, maintaining a strong stance against such crimes and effectively safeguard the property and security of residents.
