Nearly 50 representatives from Mekong region countries met in Phnom Penh on Wednesday to find better ways of cooperating to prevent human trafficking.
Plans include more informal cooperation between regional police, formal cooperation on legal structures and improved victims support agencies.

An estimated 20,000 Cambodians are trafficked throughout the region each year. Some are trafficked into the sex trade or are forced into labor on fishing boats.
