China’s anti-drug authorities, acting on intelligence provided by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, successfully seized 430 kilograms of cocaine from a suspicious international container at Yantian Port in Shenzhen, South China’s Guangdong Province on November 26, Xinhua learned from the Ministry of Public Security on Tuesday. The case is currently under further investigation.

The ministry said on December 5 that China will work with the US on salient global narcotics issues based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, in response to a media query on the progress of drug control cooperation between the two countries.

A ministry spokesperson noted that drug control authorities in the two countries have been earnestly implementing the consensus reached between their heads of state in Busan, with their cooperation yielding significant results.
