Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the Islamic Republic of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan should cooperate to fight against drug trafficking.

Over the border trade exchanges between IRI and Afghanistan, Mottaki said some agents are causing disrupt in the relations between the two countries adding illegal entrances to the countries was another problem which should be solved via holding joint commission and consulate meetings.
