Jakarta – Indonesian House Speaker Puan Maharani said during the commemoration of the International Anti-Narcotics Day on June 26, he invited all countries to continue to strengthen global cooperation in combating drugs.
“We must never let our guard down against drugs and never give room for drug trafficking and abuse. We must protect the young generation and the future of the Indonesian nation,” Puan said in a statement here on Friday.
He said this when attending a ceremony commemorating the International Anti Narcotics Day (HANI) held by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) virtually on Friday.
According to Puan, the International Anti-narcotics Day ceremony was a reminder that the world was facing the problem of the dangers of narcotics.
