On October 12, a meeting of the Sino-Russian anti-drug joint working group was held in St. Petersburg, Russia. The heads of the Anti-Narcotics Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of China and the General Anti-Drug Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation led separate delegations. During the meeting, the two sides had an in-depth exchange of views and reached a new consensus on topics such as the latest drug situation and development trends between the two countries, the current status and prospects of anti-drug cooperation between China and Russia, dealing with the spread of synthetic drugs, control of chemicals prone to drug production, and cracking down on online drug trafficking. Both sides agree that both China and Russia are facing many threats and challenges, such as the iterative upgrading of synthetic drugs, the expansion of the market for new psychoactive substances, the flow of chemicals into drug production channels, and the frequent occurrence of crimes using new technologies, and that cooperation should be further strengthened to deal with them together. The two sides stated that they will firmly maintain the current international anti-drug system based on the three United Nations anti-drug conventions and work together to contribute to the international anti-drug cause.
