Russia, China, and India seek to partner up to combat drugs
Russia, China, and India are seeking to partner up to combat drug trafficking from Afghanistan.
From Reuters:
China, India and Russia called on Thursday for the creation of a security belt around Afghanistan to halt the spread of heroin.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said a joint communique on boosting links between the three large developing countries would look at enhanced co-operation on humanitarian aid, fighting terrorism and combating drug trafficking.
“We discussed the situation around Afghanistan, where the drug threat emanates. It would help to build drug-secure belts around Afghanistan,” Lavrov said after holding talks with his Chinese and Indian counterparts in this Urals city.
