Thirty policemen from Myanmar ended their month-long training on anti-drug enforcement Thursday in Yunnan Province, southwest China.  

Trained at the Yunnan Police College, the policemen from Myanmar were the third such group trained in China as part of an anti-drug trafficking program between the two countries.

The figure brought to 85 the total number of Chinese-trained anti-drug policemen from Myanmar.

Their training courses include China's police system, anti-drug trafficking strategy, anti-drug trafficking legislation and drug tests.

Experienced anti-drug trafficking policemen and teachers at the college shared their experience with those policemen.

China trained 25 anti-drug police from Myanmar in 2002, the first group, and 30 more last year.

The Yunnan Police College has trained a total of 1,000 anti-drug policemen since 1980s.
