International Action
Hong Kong continued to support international action against drug abuse,
drug trafficking and money laundering. Close links were maintained with
the United Nations, the World Health Organisation, inter-governmental
agencies such as the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering,
Interpol and the World Customs Organisation, as well as with individual
governments. Joint operations resulted in significant seizures and
confiscation of drug-related proceeds locally and overseas. Since July
1997, Hong Kong's participation in the Financial Action Task Force on
Money Laundering has been in the name of 'Hong Kong, China'.
Hong Kong continued to support international co-operation in the
provision of training for anti-drugs personnel. Anti-drugs personnel from
different countries and international bodies came to the region on study
visits and training courses during the year. The region also took part in 20
international meetings and seminars concerned with anti-drugs policies,
law enforcement, treatment and rehabilitation, and preventive education..
