It is now strengthening its capacities.
 
The President of Russia has added that drug trade is increasing and 80% of the world's drugs originate from Afghanistan.

Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, also said in this meeting that the US is trying to recover frozen funds.
He has plundered Afghanistan.
 
This is despite the fact that a court in the United States rejected the payment of compensation from the frozen assets of Afghanistan to the survivors of the September 11 attacks, but the Secretary of the Russian Security Council said that the Westerners are trying to pay part of this money as compensation to the American citizens.
 
On the other hand, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, referring to the continuous effort of the United States to turn Afghanistan into a platform for promoting insecurity and terrorism, said: "Insecurity, which has always been the bane of Afghans, should not be allowed to be transformed by extra-regional interventions."
