TEHRAN – The Iranian Majlis speaker has called on the world countries to redouble their efforts in the anti-drug campaign.

“There is no consolidated international intention to fight drug trafficking,” Ali Larijani said on Tuesday, addressing a ceremony to mark the world day of fighting drug trafficking, Fars reported.

The parliament speaker said the Islamic Republic has paid heavy expenses in war against drug trafficking. “Iran should not pay all expenses, and other countries should also seriously consider the problems.”
