ASEAN ministers met here Tuesday to tackle the issue of illegal drugs in an effort to move towards a drug-free regional bloc by 2015.
Myanmar will continue to fight drug in 2013 under a revised 15-year drug eradication plan (1999-2014), which has been extended for another five years until 2019 to maintain the momentum of war against drug.
