US DEA administrator says Pakistan vital anti-drug ally
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is a success story in the global war on drugs and is Americas vital ally in its anti-drug efforts, said United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Administrator Karen P Tandy while addressing a gathering of anti-narcotics and law enforcement officials here on Friday.
The US DEA and Pakistan stand shoulder-to-shoulder, and we are proud of our friendship with Pakistani law enforcement. We are eager to build on our outstanding friendship with Pakistan and Pakistani law enforcement for the good of both of our nations, she said.
Introducing the DEA administrator, American Ambassador Anne W Patterson said that in her previous posting as assistant secretary for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs, she had worked closely with Tandy. I saw first-hand the outstanding work of the DEA under her leadership, said the US ambassador, adding, Within the United States and around the world, the DEA has a strong record of success in dismantling drug trafficking organisations and bringing drug traffickers to justice.
The DEA administrator said that according to UN estimates, the world drug trade generated around $ 320 billion and was the single most profitable sector of transnational criminality. To address this global drug threat, the DEA works with enforcement agencies worldwide. In fact, we have a larger international presence than any other US federal law enforcement agency, said Tandy.
Explaining the sinister connection between drugs and terrorism, Tandy said the monster of the Afghan opium trade threatened not only Pakistan but also the entire world. I have just come from Afghanistan, and I can tell you that we are succeeding in the vital attack on the Afghan opium trade, said US DEA administrator. Together with our Afghan counterparts and the coalition forces, we are successfully identifying, disrupting and dismantling high-level Afghan trafficking organisations, their leaders, their infrastructure and their illicit assets, she said.
Assuring US support to Pakistan in counter-narcotics efforts, she said, Like the United States, Pakistan has been hard-hit by the problem of drug abuse. We are here to work with you to keep the opium threat from flooding your nation with the misery of addiction, and to eliminate the very real threat of drug-funded terrorism. nni
