“Meeting Iranian interior and Pakistani counter-narcotics ministers, the president assured them for his government’s fully cooperation in struggle against narcotics production and trafficking,” the statement said.

Karzai said foreign elements are also involved in drugs trafficking in Afghanistan and the elimination requires internationally efforts.
