Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said that the South Asian regional law enforcement agencies should take collective action to counter terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other transnational crimes in the region.

“If these critical matters are well tackled the people will be able to witness political freedom, social feeling and economic development,” he said.

Mr. Rajapaksa made these comments while delivering the keynote address at the ninth conference of the police chiefs of the SAARC countries at the Taj Samudra Hotel in Colombo. (Supun Dias)
