BID TO SET UP INTERNATIONAL HQ

[The420Guy]

The House drug suppression follow-up committee is pushing for the
establishment of an international drug control police head office in
Thailand with support from the United States.

Col Winai Sompong, chairman of the panel, said the commitee's
proposal on forming the International Drug Control Police
headquarters in Thailand won support from Washington after it was
presented to U.S. authorities during the panel's study trip to the
U.S. in June.

"After this they agreed with our idea to form an international drug
police office in Thailand because we are located near drug sources.
This will help us much with tackling drug problems," the chairman
said.

Col Winai said the House panel also proposed organising an
international seminar in Thailand on laws as a major tool in the war
on drugs.

the U.S. embassy in Bangkok under the digital video conference
system.
