Furthermore, the session emphasized the need to raise public awareness regarding the risks associated with information use, especially among youth.

During the training, participants engaged in constructive discussions, exchanging experiences and strategies employed by law enforcement agencies from various countries. Participants focused on practices used in the United States.

Following the session, all parties expressed their commitment to fostering continued cooperation in the fight against online drug trafficking, indicating the need for ongoing collaboration to enhance global efforts in this regard.
