Afghanistan: OIC, US and Iran Praise Poppy Ban in Afghanistan

KABUL, 06 April 2022, (TON): The Organization for Islamic Cooperation, Iran and US Charge d’Affairs Ian McCarry recently welcomed the Islamic Emirate’s ban on poppy cultivation across Afghanistan.

OIC Secretary-General H.E. Hissein Brahim Taha praised the Islamic Emirate’s decision to ban poppy cultivation and said “the cultivation of alternative crops, and rehabilitation programs for drug addicts, should be a part of the international community's assistance to Afghanistan.”

McCarry said “outlawing the production of narcotics in Afghanistan is a positive step but enforcement will be key.”

McCarry added “having a healthy and licit agricultural sector will help Afghanistan’s economy and ultimately the Afghan people.”

In the meantime, Iranian officials said that Iran welcomes any reduction in the cultivation of poppies and the production of narcotics in Afghanistan.

Afghan officials said the government will make efforts to provide an alternative harvest for farmers and as well as new jobs for the people.
