Iran stands as a barrier against drug transit
By Trend
Iranian deputy police chief for combating drugs said Iran is standing as a barrier against drug transit to other countries in the world, especially in Western countries, irna.ir reports.
On the sidelines of the '53th Summit of the United Nations
subcommission on Combating Drug Trafficking in the Middle East and
Central Asia', Colonel Majid Karimi said in Baku that Iran has so
far carried out many projects as a neighbor of Afghanistan.
He added, 'The objective of the Islamic Republic of Iran to
participate in this summit is to reflect the great efforts of our
country to the international community.'
'We expect the international community to come in line with the
principle of our common responsibility and help us regardless of
political issues,' he added.
Iranian deputy police chief for combating drugs pointed to the
obstacles to fight drig traffickers, and said, 'The biggest problem
is that the countries have not yet understood the importance of the
issue of exchanging information on the fight against drugs and
still engage in political considerations in the exchange of
information.'
He added that another hindrance is the political position of some
countries in the face of providing necessary equipment for
Iran.
