Kenya has called for urgent and coordinated global action to combat the rapidly evolving drug trade, warning that emerging substances and digital trafficking networks are intensifying the global narcotics crisis.

The appeal was made during the 69th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in Vienna, where Kenya urged the international community to adopt a balanced and science-based approach to tackling both the supply and demand sides of the global drug problem.
