ABSTRACT:

Afghanistan produces the most opium of high grade, whereas Pakistan is a major consumer, transshipment site, and regional player in the drug trade. Blaming Afghanistan for drug smuggling into Pakistan exacerbates tensions between the two countries, which are already strained due to militant infiltration across the border. The current article focuses on the problem of drug trafficking between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is attempting to develop effective solutions to solve the issue in order to decrease the negative effects of the drug trade on their bilateral relations. Furthermore, it suggests a regional strategy for dealing with the problem. To eliminate poppy growing in Afghanistan and its infiltration into Pakistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan must work together as a single entity.
