Baku, May 14 (AzerTAc). Representatives of the key anti-drugs agencies and leading experts will attend an international forum in Moscow on June 9-10 on combating Afghan drug trafficking.
The forum aims at adopting a common strategy in the struggle against drug production and international drug trafficking. "The problem of Afghan drug production and drug trafficking from the country is so serious that there is now a real need to gather representatives from anti-drug agencies and the expert community to find a common strategy," the head of Russian Anti-Narcotics Committee, Viktor Ivanov, said.
According to the Federal Drug Control Service, Afghan opium causes the deaths of around 100,000 people around the world annually. In Russia alone Afghan heroin kills around 30,000 young people each year.
