China and Russia will cooperate to fight against transnational drug crime in their border areas, according to a document signed Thursday in Harbin.

The public security department of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province and Russia's General Administration of the Far East Region of the State Drug Control Department signed the document after three days of discussions, vowing to cooperate in information exchanges and police training.

Since last year, police from Heilongjiang Province and relevant Russia regions have cooperated in cracking six transnational drug cases.

Cooperation will help cut drug trafficking channels, said Gao Delin, vice-director of the Heilongjiang Provincial Public Security Department.

It is necessary to promote international cooperation, since drug trafficking is a transnational crime, and no country can deal with it independently, said V. Parkhomenko, director of the General Administration of the Far East Region of the State Drug Control Department.
