	BURMA AND CHINA AGREE TO STEP UP FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS
	****************************************************

	     Monday 14 July, 1997 (11:26pm AEST)


         Burma and China have agreed to step up cooperation in the
          fight against the production and supply of illegal drugs.

          The accord came during talks in Rangoon between senior
          anti-drugs officials from both countries.

          Burma and China are signatories to a regional plan on
          narcotics control, together with Cambodia, Laos, Thailand
          and Vietnam. 

          Western officials say Burma is the source of most of the
          world's heroin, which flows to international markets through
          its borders with China, Laos and Thailand.
