Global port network to combat drug trafficking launched in Marseille
A network of 14 major global ports is being launched to combat drug trafficking, according to French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. The initiative, announced ahead of a meeting in Marseille, aims to improve coordination between departure and arrival ports to better track illegal shipments.
The network will utilize technological tools, specifically artificial intelligence, to connect information systems and facilitate the identification of narcotics. Barrot noted that approximately 70% of drugs entering France pass through ports, making coordinated action essential to suffocating the trade.
The launch occurs within the framework of G7 meetings. Barrot emphasized the need for a global approach, highlighting successful cooperation and intelligence exchange with South American countries to target the drug trade at its roots.
