AIPA aims to strengthen drug-free environment

By The Nation

 

 

Thailand, as this year’s chair of the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Assembly, is hosting a four-day anti-drugs consultation session.
 

The meeting of the AIPA Advisory Council on Dangerous Drugs is being held for a second time in Chiang Mai province.

 

Opened by Thailand’s president of the National Legislative Assembly, acting as AIPA chair this year, Pornpetch Wichitcholchai said the forum was aimed at seeking a resolution on strengthening the Asean community towards drug free environment.

 

Updates were provided to the participants and proposals on alternative developments towards a drug-free Asean community were proposed, with the focus on the practices of communities with the support of concerned agencies.

 

Thailand demonstrated a successful case for alternative development in Doi Inthanon of Chiang Mai, where ethnic minorities, who once widely grew narcotic crops, turned to organic farming and became a success story.

 

“Local communities play a key role in narcotic drug prevention and suppression and they should be encouraged to find the strength to  developed [prevention] further as a fundamental for drug-free practice,”  said Pornpetch.

 

The meeting would also discuss about the AIPACODD’s future and the set-up of a “special desk” to follow up work progress.

 

The meeting ends tomorrow.

You forget that Thailand is where an announcement is always sufficient, no need to actually do anything.

 

It'll all be forgotten by next week.
