TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the anti-narcotics squad of Iran's Law Enforcement Police General Ali Moayyedi and Bolivia's Vice Minister for Social Defense and Controlled Substances Felipe Caceres Garcia discussed ways of expanding joint campaign against drug trafficking.
Iran and Bolivia can promote cooperation in anti-narcotics fields, Moayyedi said during the first Iran-Bolivia joint commission meeting in Tehran on Tuesday.
The Iranian commander noted that the country's measures to fight drug trafficking and its experiences in that filed are incomparable.
The Bolivian official, for his part, expressed his country's readiness to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran on anti-narcotics activities.
In mid-February, Iranian Law Enforcement Police forces clamped down on a major drug network involved in synthetic drug-trafficking activities in the Central province of Isfahan.
Speaking to reporters, Commander of Isfahan's Law Enforcement Forces General Abdol Reza Aqakhani said his forces have intensified their war on narcotics and synthetic drugs throughout the province.
He added that police disbanded the largest synthetic drug network in the province after conducting a series of intelligence and police measures, and seized 26.540kg of Crystal (Methamphetamine).
Methamphetamine, a synthetic drug with more rapid and lasting effects than amphetamine, is illegally used as a stimulant.
Iranian anti-drug officials have on many occasions underlined that the country will strongly confront those involved in the trafficking and dealing of synthetic drugs, reminding the havoc such narcotics can wreak on the society.
Synthetic drugs have recently been smuggled and distributed in Iran by drug-traffickers who seek to change addiction behaviors in the country and redirect addicts' tendency from conventional drugs, such as opium, heroin and hashish, to those narcotics mostly prevalent in the West, like cocaine, crack, crystal meth and LSD.
Iran, located at the crossroad of international drug smuggling from Afghanistan to Europe leads international efforts in fighting drug networks and narcotic traffickers.
According to the statistical figures released by the UN, Iran ranks first among the world countries in preventing entry of drugs and decreasing demand for narcotics.
The anti-drug squads of the Iranian Law Enforcement Police have intensified their countrywide campaign against drug-trafficking through staging long-term systematic operations since last year.
The Iranian police measures along the country's Eastern borders have forced drug-traffickers to resort to other routes, including the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf, to smuggle their drug cargos which originate in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
