DUSHANBE
, April 10, Asia-Plus – Mr. Bernard Brahi, chief of the Partnership and Development Branch, Divisions for Operations within the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC), considers that transit of Afghan drugs via
Tajikistan
’s territory will continue.
“Opium cultivation in
Afghanistan
has risen,” Mr. Brahi told journalists in
Dushanbe
today. “It is necessary to take measures to reduce opium cultivation in
Afghanistan
, and it depends, in many respects, on development of Afghan society,” he noted.
According to Bernard Brahi, the flow of drugs from
Afghanistan
to
Tajikistan
could be reduced due to further expansion of interaction between special services of
Tajikistan
and
Afghanistan
and exchange of information between the two countries.
