Kuwait presented a working paper on Wednesday at the 40th Arab Conference of Heads of Drug Control Agencies, organized by the General Secretariat of the Arab Ministers of Interior Council in Tunisia, addressing new and emerging methods of combating the scourge of drugs.
Mohammed Qabazard, Director General of the General Administration for Combating Narcotics at Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the objective of the working paper is to enhance vigilance and caution in drug control efforts, inform security delegations of the latest methods used in drug trafficking and distribution, and support awareness campaigns to protect Arab youth from this scourge.
He called for strengthening Arab cooperation in confronting drug-related challenges to safeguard societies, particularly Arab youth, from the dangers of drugs and psychoactive substances, emphasizing that combating drugs requires intensified preventive, therapeutic, and security efforts.
He also reaffirmed Kuwait’s commitment to supporting Arab and international efforts in this field, stressing that drugs pose a threat to Arab security by fueling money-laundering networks and organized crime financing, making their eradication a societal responsibility that demands conscious Arab cooperation and integration.
