Fight against drugs

Despite worldwide actions to combat drug trafficking and use, the problem is worsening, with international drug cartels becoming more aggressive and terrorists funding activities. The annual International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is intended to highlight the connections between drugs, crime and terrorism, and raise awareness. It also served as a reminder of the challenge China faces. And the victims are young people. It is a shared responsibility of all countries to fight drug related crimes.
