Bangladesh gets drug, precursor test kits from Japan through UNODC
Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Ito Naoki and the delegates from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Thursday handed over drug and precursor test kits, funded by the government of Japan, to the Department of Narcotics Control (DNC).
Naoki said Japan attaches great importance to the implementation of a "Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP)," a vision to secure peace, stability and prosperity in the region,
"We will continue to work with Bangladesh to realise the vision through various practical cooperation, including the capacity building of law enforcement agencies."
Md Abdul Wahab Bhuiyan, director general of the DNC, said Japan has been a time-tested friend and biggest development partner of Bangladesh, and the country would like to continue to cooperate with Japan to strengthen its control capability of drug trafficking, reports UNB.
