On the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary session, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) has adopted, by consensus, a resolution tabled by Pakistan, the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad said on Saturday. The resolution is based on the theme of "Strengthening international cooperation to assist the States most affected by the illicit transit of drugs, especially developing countries, based on the principle of common and shared responsibility."
The resolution was co-sponsored by several countries including, Algeria, Argentina, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Norway, Panama, Philippines, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkey and US.
