The Anti-Narcotics Department of the Taliban-run Ministry of Interior announced that Sheikh Abdulrahman Munir, Deputy Head of the department, met with Mr. Ordaragli, the Acting Head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Kabul, to discuss joint cooperation.

According to published information, the meeting took place at the office of the Deputy Anti-Narcotics Chief.

Afghanistan has been one of the regions plagued by drug cultivation and trafficking for years, a matter that has consistently been a concern for the international community. Despite the Taliban administration’s declared commitment to combating this problem, international organizations stress the necessity for transparency, sustained practical measures, and effective cooperation with the global community.
