MOSCOW. Jan 31 (Interfax) - The Russian Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) has announced that relations between Moscow and Washington in combating drugs will be developing despite Russia's withdrawal from an agreement in law enforcement with the United States.
"Today Russian-American relations in the sphere of drug control are on the rise and continue advancing," Interfax was told at the FSKN PR and media department on Wednesday.
FSKN said that the agreement between the governments of Russia and the United States on cooperation in law enforcement and drug control signed in 2002 is "morally outdated."
"A new one is under work that will reflect modern systems of managing drug control activities and fundamentally new approaches to combating transnational drug crime," a FSKN official said.
"U.S. colleagues are our reliable partners on the international arena," the representative said.
