The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) strengthens its ties with its international counterparts as PDEA chief Director General Gen. Isidro S. Lapeña recently met with international counterparts based in the Philippines to further strengthen the climate of cooperation and partnership among them.

The gathering was attended by counterparts from Australia, Canada, China, Great Britain, Japan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Republic of Korea, Russia, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office-Republic of China, Thailand and United States of America (USA).

“Beside nurturing inter-country cooperation, another goal of the meeting is to bring together PDEA officials, drug law enforcers, and officers of foreign embassies here in the country, to familiarize them with the country’s drug situation and present the strategic, thrusts and programs of the national anti-drug campaign”, Lapeña said.


Local counterparts and representatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Department of National Defense (DND), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) also attended the meeting.

The PDEA chief added that the Agency is building international partnerships by holding pro-active multi-lateral meetings with other countries to address the pervading drug problem that greatly affects everyone regardless of race and nationality.
