The scale of the upcoming forum is significant: delegations from nearly 50 countries will descend upon the ancient city, alongside representatives from major international bodies including Interpol, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the CIS, and the World Customs Organization. Approximately 500 international experts will deliberate on the evolving challenges humanity faces regarding the illicit trafficking of controlled substances.

The meeting’s agenda extends far beyond traditional enforcement methods. Participants will focus on the following key pillars:

Technological Breakthrough: The implementation of Artificial Intelligence and digital tools to track and disrupt drug trafficking networks.

Social Protection: Advancing modern rehabilitation and social reintegration systems for those struggling with addiction.

Youth Engagement: Hosting a dedicated Youth Summit to promote healthy lifestyles and protect the next generation from destructive influences.

Hosting a forum of such magnitude confirms Uzbekistan's strategic role as a reliable partner in ensuring regional and global security.
