The third speaker, NATALIA KUBESCH said in a special address on Zoom. First of all I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for inviting me to this event today and listening to me. For a long time, efforts are being made to stop this drug around the world. Sometimes I feel that this mafia is the strongest among us, which suppresses our voice.
We have been advocating for this for a long time because humanity comes first, the way our speakers talked about the Philippines and Bangladesh where the drug laws are in place and how many people are out of the world because of it. I am very sorry but we are all here and our voice is going around the world, I hope we can eradicate this drug from the world.
My condolences to the families of those around the world who have passed away from this addiction. Today is still time for us to become one voice and send a message to the world that let’s get rid of drugs from the world together. At the end, the series of questions started, which were answered by the speaker’s in an excellent manners. Finally, Moderator of this event, DAVID BORDEN، thanks to everyone for coming to this event today.
