Canada, Mexico, and the United States convened in Ottawa for the Ninth Meeting of the North American Drug Dialogue (NADD), focusing on strategies to address fentanyl and illicit drug threats. Participants reviewed progress on previous priorities, including drug trafficking methods, synthetic drugs, and financial flows, while advancing three new strategic goals: securing supply chains, strengthening law enforcement, and reducing overdose deaths. The trio emphasized collaboration to enhance border security, disrupt firearms trafficking, and close financial systems to criminal networks. They also discussed cooperation with China on precursor chemical controls. Established in 2016, the NADD aims to foster transparency and coordinated solutions to North America’s drug challenges through shared data and best practices.
