The Ministry of Public Security will head a joint meeting next month on further measures to combat the trafficking of women and children, a senior official said on Sunday.
"Twenty-six ministries will discuss details of the plan and how to carry it out in a coordinated way," Yuan Xiaoyin, ministry offical, said at a news conference in Kunming, Yunnan province.
The meeting follows the adoption of the National Plan of Action to Combat Human Trafficking (2008-12), which took effect in January. It covers prevention, prosecution, assistance for victims, repatriation and recovery.
