Qatar reaffirms commitment to combating drug trafficking, corruption

The State of Qatar has reaffirmed its commitment to combating drug trafficking, promoting integrity, preventing and fighting corruption, and strengthening transparency worldwide. This commitment was highlighted in a statement delivered by Third Secretary at Qatar's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Amina Abdullah Salat, during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly's Third Committee.

Salat emphasized Qatar's partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), particularly the establishment of the UNODC Regional Center for Combating Cybercrime in Doha to strengthen global efforts to prevent and combat cybercrime. Additionally, Qatar's signing and ratification of the UN Convention against Cybercrime in October 2025 and February 2026, respectively, were underscored as significant steps in its anti-cybercrime efforts.
