Riyadh offers boost to Pak anti-narcotics effort

Saudi Arabia on Monday offered advanced drug detection equipment to Pakistan as both sides pledged to strengthen bilateral cooperation against the global narcotics challenge, according to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

Naqvi, who also oversees narcotics control, visited the Saudi Anti-Narcotics Headquarters and discussed enhancing collaboration to combat drug trafficking with Director General Maj-Gen Muhammad Al-Qarni.

"No country can tackle the menace of drugs alone; it has become a shared global challenge. Pakistan will continue its cooperation with Saudi Arabia to create a drug-free environment for future generations," Naqvi said, stressing the need for joint efforts.
