We also addressed the issue of Afghan immigrants in Iran; both countries agreed to exchange intelligence information on fighting drug cartels, Rouhani told the press.

Drug trafficking is a grave issue for Iran, Afghanistan, and the region at large; we should address the issue more seriously, and change the land cultivation and replacing other crops; Iran’s Ministry of Agriculture would cooperate fully with Afghanistan, who enjoys cultivable land and water, Rouhani proposed.

Rouhani said that fighting terrorism and extremism in borders and exchanging of intelligence were agreed in meeting with Mr. Ashraf Ghani.

Ashraf Ghani emphasized on bilateral, trilateral, and regional cooperation to bring security and stability to the region;

we face different versions of terrorism and threat, and without cooperation, fighting with notorious groups such as ISIL would prove futile, Ashraf Ghani told reporters.

Rouhani and Ashraf Ghani signed two cooperation agreements between foreign ministries and ministries of Science of both countries.

Well,if you ask me I would say first we would better do something about internal drug dealers and producers who do not even make drugs,but just some toxics made of Industrial Cleaning Liquids and Materials which every year kill tens of addicts here for poisoning and also securing our eastern borders more so lesser border guards would be killed due fighting with drug smugglers and armed outlaws.It is beginning to turn into a huge problem here,specially among ladies.
