You may not have read much about it yet, but an unusual conference is set to take place in Moscow in about 2 weeks. The subject of the conference is the Afghan opium trade – an illicit business that could be worth up to $65 billion annually, some observers claim.

Russian drug experts believe that opium grown in Afghanistan and exported abroad kills about 100,000 people worldwide per year, including up to 30,000 Russians.

I'm sure the conference won'ts reduce the number of opium coming from Afghanistan.
