Officials from several Asian nations are meeting in Cambodia to discuss efforts to combat human trafficking.

The two-day meeting in Phnom Penh involves officials from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia, as well as local and international non-government organisations.

The Phnom Penh Post says speakers are calling for better coordination and information sharing to help combat the cross-border trade.

In another development, it has been reported that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered a fresh crackdown on what is being described as gangster activity.

The government says it is concerned that such activity is on the rise.
