New York/New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in his address at the Summit for the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats in New York highlighted that India has long been affected by the nexus between terrorist groups and narco-trafficking, and of cross-border rackets smuggling drugs into India to finance terrorism.

In a post on X, EAM said he was pleased to join US President Joe Biden, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other leaders at the Summit for the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats.

“Pleased to join @POTUS, @SecBlinken and other leaders today at the Summit for the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats.

Highlighted that:

*India’s role as co-chair of Working Group 1, focused on preventing the illicit manufacture and trafficking of synthetic drugs, showcases our proactive stance.

*India has long been affected by the nexus between terrorist groups and narco-trafficking. Cross-border rackets smuggle drugs into our territory, with proceeds supporting terrorism.

* India has signed 45 bilateral agreements to strengthen cooperation and established a robust framework domestically regulating 27 precursor chemicals.

*The deepening partnership between India and the United States must be recognized. Our Counter Narcotics Working Group has met four times, and the conclusion recently of the bilateral Drug Framework and MoU at Wilmington is a notable step.

*India calls for enhanced operational cooperation, intelligence sharing, and stronger law enforcement collaboration to combat the synthetic drug trade.

As we unite in this mission, confident that our collective resolve and cooperation will build a safer, drug-free world for all,” he said.
