BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s public security minister pledged on Tuesday to deepen international cooperation in the field of drug control, state media Xinhua reported.
Wang Xiaohong, who is also the director of the National Narcotics Control Board, called for the “eradication of the soil that breeds and spreads the drug problem” at the meeting, reports Xinhua.
The United States is pressuring China to help reduce fentanyl-related deaths in the US. China says it has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and the US needs to curb demand for narcotics at home.
