Sri Lanka has agreed to fully support and work together with other countries to suppress the production and distribution of synthetic drugs, Public Security Minister Tiran Alles said.

He extended these assurance during an international conference on the prevention of synthetic drugs, which was held recently through Zoom under the initiative of the United States Department of State, headed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Ministers and diplomatic officers from countries including the USA, the United Kingdom, Israel, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Korea participated in this conference while Minister Tiran Alles participated representing Sri Lanka.

In particular, attention was paid to the measures to be taken by the countries that currently have synthetic drug factories to prevent such production activities, and the countries that do not currently have such factories to prevent the creation of such factories.

Also, special attention was paid on how prevention activities can be accelerated through the exchange of technical methods and tools currently used by the countries for drug prevention.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

    When we are corrupted and bankrupt and living on loans, we have to be very fortunate.

    Sri Lanka is always looking for more foreign exchange. If these new drugs bring in 10s of billions of dollars, and it helps to feed our hungry children what does it matter if some Sudda get sick. We can't save Sudda from there addictions, but we can help our nation get more dollars.

    Before trying to enter world affairs, Tiran should first eliminate the drug menace in SL.

    Tiran wants the business exclusively. How did this imbecile ever become a minister?
