Drug problem is not a concern of a country or a national but a global concern that is to be addressed by every country or the entire human beings.
In Myanmar, the 15-year drug elimination plan from 1999 to 2014 has been laid down and is being implemented. Now, the plan is in its last year of the second five years. Realizing that the drug elimination tasks cannot be carried out by itself alone but through international cooperation, Myanmar has signed Memorandum of Understanding with neighbouring countries and countries in the region and the sub-region.

Myanmar with its own resources is trying its utmost in the fight against drugs while cooperating with the international community. Meanwhile, it is taking all possible steps for drug addicts so that they cannot be fallen under the influence of drugs again and they can live a drug-free life for ever by widening their scope of knowledge.
Under the drug elimination strategic planning, efforts are being made with added momentum for the development of border areas and national races and putting an end to poppy growing. In that regard, the government spent K 288,753.3 million from 1989 to the end of September 2009 for the development of border areas including Laukkai region. At a time when the government is making all-out efforts in its fight against drugs, it is incumbent upon the entire national people to extend a helping hand to the government in the drive with national awareness.
