HONG KONG: Hong Kong officials held rare talks in Bangkok this week with Thai counterparts to find ways to bring home those lured from the Asian financial hub and trapped in illegal work in South-East Asia, seeking to combat a growing trend.

Tuesday's (Jan 14) talks follow last week's high-profile case of Chinese actor believed to have been a victim of human trafficking, who went missing after travelling to Thailand, but was later tracked to Myanmar and rescued.
