A total of 214 crimes related to the illegal trafficking and consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances were registered in Mongolia, the official statement noted.
According to experts, there has been a sharp increase in the number of crimes on illicit trafficking and consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances in Mongolia in recent years.
"The main reasons for the increase in drug crimes in Mongolia are the lack of knowledge about drugs, curiosity and the want to earn money," they added.
