China and the United States have maintained steady progress in anti-drug cooperation, with both sides continuing to expand practical collaboration in key areas, a senior Chinese narcotics control official said on Wednesday.

中国一位禁毒高级官员周三表示，中美两国禁毒合作稳步推进，双方持续拓展重点领域务实协作。

Wei Xiaojun, executive deputy director of the Office of China National Narcotics Control Commission and head of the Ministry of Public Security's narcotics control bureau, made the remarks as the nation further strengthened its drug governance and chemical control by placing 16 additional non-medicinal narcotic and psychotropic substances under control.

国家禁毒委员会办公室常务副主任、公安部禁毒局局长魏晓军作出上述表态。我国新增列管16种非药用麻醉品和精神活性物质，进一步强化毒品治理与化学品管控工作。

Wei noted that China and the US have deepened cooperation across substance scheduling, chemical control, intelligence sharing, joint investigations, online information cleanup, fugitive repatriation, anti-money laundering and drug testing technologies.

魏晓军介绍，中美双方在物质列管、化学品管控、情报共享、联合办案、网络信息清理、逃犯遣返、反洗钱以及毒品检测技术等多个领域深化合作。

China has maintained regular communication with relevant US government departments, including the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, to exchange updates and discuss priorities, Wei said.

魏晓军称，中方与白宫国家禁毒政策办公室等美方相关部门保持常态化沟通，互通工作进展、商讨合作重点。

Chinese law enforcement agencies have also worked on joint cases and the repatriation of drug-related fugitives with the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he added.

他补充道，中国执法部门还与美国缉毒局、联邦调查局、美国海关与边境保护局开展联合办案，协作遣返涉毒逃犯。

In February, police in Tianjin arrested a suspect, surnamed Gong, in a drug-related case based on information provided by US authorities. Prior to that, a US citizen suspected of involvement in the same case was arrested by US law enforcement agencies from the state of Georgia.

今年2月，天津警方依据美方提供线索抓获一名宫姓涉毒嫌疑人。在此之前，美方执法部门已在佐治亚州抓获一名涉案美国公民。
