巴基斯坦和阿富汗同意举行联合缉毒行动

Pakistan and Afghanistan say they will conduct joint operations against drug traffickers.

巴基斯坦和阿富汗说，他们将针对毒品走私犯展开联合行动。

The announcement was made in Islamabad at the conclusion of a regional conference on fighting drug trafficking sponsored by UNODC, the United Nations agency responsible for fighting drug trafficking. Iran was also a participant at the meeting.

这个宣布是在伊斯兰堡一个打击毒品走私区域会议结束时做出的。这次会议由联合国负责打击毒品走私的机构联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室主办。伊朗也参加了这次会议。

Few details were immediately available but the joint operations are to be carried out by law enforcement authorities from both countries. The two countries share a long and porous border and relations between Kabul and Islamabad have been strained in recent years.

尽管有关巴基斯坦和阿富汗采取的这个联合行动的细节目前还不清楚，但是行动将由两国的执法部门来执行。这两个国家有着一条很长而且存在很多漏洞的边界。喀布尔和伊斯兰堡的关系最近几年一直比较紧张。

Afghanistan produces 90 percent of the world's heroin and much of it passes through Pakistan. Afghanistan's annual opium crop generates about $3 billion a year. Experts say it largely funds the Taliban insurgency which is believed to receive about $150 million from the processing and sale of opium and heroin.

阿富汗生产全世界90%的海洛因，其中大部分是通过巴基斯坦运出去的。阿富汗每年生产的鸦片可以带来30亿美元的收入。专家说，这笔钱大部分为塔利班反叛活动提供资金。据信塔利班从加工和出售鸦片和海洛因可以获得1亿5千万美元。
