The Triangular Initiative, launched in 2007, coordinates the efforts of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan against the threat of opium flowing from Afghanistan.Speaking after the triangular meeting at the United Nations, Iran’s interior minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli called for the UN and its member states to cooperate with them more.
Rahmani Fazli also said Tehran, Kabul and Islamabad have renewed a previous agreement. Iran is not only active on the ground, the Islamic Republic has also had an active role in combating maritime drug trafficking.In 2013, Iran, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Australia and Oman launched operations that seized vessels containing more than 10 tons of different drugs.Speaking at a ministerial review meeting of the Triangular Initiative, the U-N’s anti-drugs chief Yury Fedotov, said that addressing maritime trafficking routes is an issue of increasing urgency.
