The Afghanistan Islamic emirate Ministry of Interior affiars strongly rejects the latest statements and claims of the said agency and considers them to be far from the truth.

According to the evaluation of the Ministry of Interior affairs, there has been a significant decrease in the cultivation and production of drugs in Afghanistan in the last one year compared to the previous years.

The Islamic emirate police forces have taken the same practical steps in all the provinces of the country to eliminate drugs, especially poppy fields, and no area where drugs are cultivated, and specially target them and struggle against it.
As expected from world countries and various institutions to cooperate in these areas, especially in providing alternative livelihoods for farmers, unfortunately, there was no cooperation from any country and institutions and all them has been left alone the Afghanistan Islamic Emirate in this struggle.
