Under the Taliban regime, Afghanistan has become a hub for narcotics production and global smuggling.

According to media reports, Afghanistan is transforming neighbouring countries into key transit routes for the regional and global distribution of narcotics.

Media reports indicate that the drug trade in Afghanistan has expanded beyond mere cultivation to include clandestine chemical laboratories.

Under Taliban rule, Afghanistan has emerged as a dangerous centre for the escalating global production and trafficking of crystal meth (Ice).

According to the US Embassy in Islamabad, a shipment of crystal meth (Ice) worth 21 million dollars, smuggled from Afghanistan to Sri Lanka, has been seized.

International reports once again confirm that this illegitimate regime relies on terrorism and the narcotics trade for its survival.
