US-India Counternarcotics Working Group

The inaugural session of the US-India Counternarcotics Working Group was virtually held between the US and Indian officials on November 24 this year. The both sides’ delegations were engaged in the comprehensive deliberations regarding the narcotics-related challenges. The focus was on increasing cooperation in the counternarcotics regulations and law enforcement like curtailing illegal production, manufacturing, trafficking and distribution of pharmaceutical and illicit drugs as well as raw materials used for manufacturing these drugs.
