Phnom Penh, Feb 28 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Prime Minister Hun Sen has laid out plans for a new campaign to combat illegal drugs this year in light of the persistence of traffickers and users despite previous government efforts to stamp out drug-related activities.

According to Plan No 01 signed on Feb19, drug offences have not declined across the Kingdom in line with the suspensions of activities related to investment, trade, industry, agriculture, services and culture on account of the pandemic.
