On 9 May 2008, The Ambassador of Peoples Republic of China Luo Zhaohui handed over 5 drug-sniffing dogs, worth 4.5 million rupees, to the Director General of Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) to aid in its efforts to fight narcotics. Secretary of Foreign Affairs Salman Bashir and high officials of the ANF were present on the occasion. The provision of anti-narcotics assistance was to curb the influx of opiates.

Pakistan had fallen both a victim and become a transit country in narcotic trafficking because of its proximity to Afghanistan.
