Iraq and Syria discuss tackling the cross-border drug trade

The Republic of Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic have discussed ways to tackle the drug trafficking problem across their joint border, according to a report.

On Sunday, Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and Syria's Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad held a meeting to discuss this problem. They discussed various ways to end drug trafficking.

Faisal Mekdad arrived in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, on Saturday evening for a two-day visit. He met with various Iraqi officials. After the meeting, the two leaders attended a press conference. They said, “Today, we have discussed cooperation between Iraq and Syria to fight the drug trade. It’s known that Iraq is a corridor for trafficking, and regrettably, drug consumption has begun in Iraqi society.”

Reportedly, the two leaders discussed the humanitarian crisis facing Syrian refugees in Iraq. They also discussed various issues of mutual concern.

In May, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was greeted warmly at an Arab League meeting after Arab governments agreed to return Syria's full membership in the league, which had been suspended for 12 years due to Assad's crackdown on anti-government rallies that led to a crisis in the country.

After welcoming Assad back, Arab state members urged him to put a stop to the thriving Syrian drug trade, which is produced in Syria and transported across the region.

The February 6 earthquake changed the political scenario in the region. Assad and Syria received support and humanitarian aid from Arab states after the deadly earthquake that increased the suffering of Syrians.

On February 7, Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah El-Sisi called Assad for the first time to reiterate his country's support for vulnerable people in Syria. Jordan’s foreign minister also visited Syria. The Syrian President travelled to Oman on February 20. Sultan Haitham bin Tareq of Oman and Assad held official talks.

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
