Vice President Dr Mohamed Waheed has met with the Representative for the Regional UNODC Office for South Asia, Cristina Albertin, to discuss the strengthening of the country’s response to drug abuse.
Speaking at the meeting, Waheed said that fighting against drug issues was one of the key pledges of the government.
He noted the important role civil societies could play in this endeavour, and stressed the need for more NGOs to be created.
Albertin agreed that the government alone could not prevent drug abuse in the country, and said that controlling the supply of drugs and punishing the drug importers was the strongest way to stop drug abuse in the country.
