RSO provides situational briefing on trafficking for forced criminality into cyber-scam centres at the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative Against Trafficking (COMMIT) Senior Officials’ Meeting

The Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative against Trafficking (COMMIT) convened its Regional Task Force (RTF) and Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) in Suzhou, China over 10-11 December 2024. The meeting brought together representatives from all six COMMIT Member States (Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam) to advance discussions on emerging trafficking challenges and refine the draft framework for the Sub-Regional Plan of Action (SPA) V.

The RSO delivered a situational update on trafficking into cyber-scam centres.

The meetings highlighted growing regional concerns about technological inequity and the need for enhanced private sector engagement in counter-trafficking efforts.

International partners, including the International Organization for Migration (IOM), ASEAN-Australia Counter Trafficking (ASEAN-ACT), and the Regional Support Office of the Bali Process (RSO), were identified as key cooperation partners in facilitating implementation, reducing duplication of efforts, and optimising resources.
