The Forum is organized jointly with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

It will be attended by representatives of the United Nations, as well as other reputable international structures, including Interpol, the European Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the World Customs Organization.

The participation of heads of relevant departments from almost 50 countries and about 500 international experts is expected. Such a high level of representation confirms the growing role of Uzbekistan as a reliable and sought-after venue for global events.

The forum will discuss current global and regional trends in drug trafficking, youth prevention, and the development of treatment, rehabilitation, and social reintegration systems. Special attention will be paid to the introduction of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in the fight against drug threats.

In addition, a Youth Summit will be held dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle and increasing the social activity of young people.
