New Delhi: India and the United States have agreed to strengthen cooperation to dismantle international drug trafficking networks through intelligence sharing, joint enforcement operations and tighter monitoring of chemicals used in synthetic drug production.
The decision was taken during the second India-US Drug Policy Meeting held in New Delhi on November 2 and 3. The Indian delegation was led by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Director General Anurag Garg, while the US team was headed by Debbie Seguin.
Discussions focused on India’s Vision Roadmap 2026-2029, which aims to target financiers, suppliers and transporters involved in drug trafficking.
The two sides also reviewed Operation MedMax, which uncovered an international drug distribution network in July 2025, and Operation WIPE, launched in April, which identified 122 illicit online listings involving 62 substances, including fentanyl.
