UAE approves new anti-drug strategy

 

The UAE government has approved a new National Anti-Narcotics Strategy. This will help them deal with the problem of drug use and sales in the country. The strategy was announced at a special Cabinet meeting in Abu Dhabi.

The new strategy aims to stop more people from getting involved with drugs. It wants to make drug dealers think twice before operating in the UAE. Harsher punishments and closer monitoring are part of the plan. The measures will focus both inside the country and cooperate with other nations.  

Treatment and rehabilitation of drug users is also a major part of the strategy. More rehabilitation centres will be set up. Creating awareness among communities about the harms of drugs is important. Educational programs and information campaigns will do this. The strategy ensures drug users get the right help to leave this lifestyle.

Preventing young people from falling into drug abuse is a priority. Close cooperation between different authorities will happen. By sharing information, they can work together better. This allows for a more comprehensive approach to the issue. The new rules aim to protect families and society from drug problems.

The UAE Cabinet approved many international agreements too. Deals with other countries will strengthen cooperation against illegal drugs. Sharing expertise and resources can increase effectiveness. Joint operations and intelligence can help catch traffickers operating across borders. Regional and global cooperation is vital to curbing the drug trade.

The new strategy received full backing from the UAE leadership. With strong commitment and application of various measures, the aim is to build an even safer society. A combined effort involving all levels of government and international partners can help win the fight against narcotics. It reflects the UAE's firm stance against anything harming community health and integrity.
