The Lao government said on Friday that its firm determination to combat transnational telecom fraud has never wavered, announcing that it has now implemented measures to limit power supply to Tachileik town in Shan state of eastern Myanmar.
During a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Laos Fang Hong, Lao Minister of Energy and Mines Phoxay Sayasone said that Laos has implemented measures to limit the flow of electricity to Tachileik and will not allow its electricity to be used for any activities other than supporting people's livelihoods, especially crimes such as fraud.
Phoxay promised that in this regard, Laos will continue to work closely with relevant countries and take further actions if necessary.
Fang said that combating transnational cyber fraud is in the common interest of countries in the region.
China will continue to strengthen law enforcement and security cooperation with Laos and other countries, taking resolute and effective measures to jointly safeguard the safety of people's lives and property, she added.
On Wednesday, the Thai government cut off power supply to five areas in Myanmar, including Myawaddy and Tachileik, as a concrete measure to crack down on illegal groups entrenched in those areas.
After Thailand cut off the power supply, Tachileik announced on the same day that it would import electricity from Laos to replace the Thai power supply.
