A new UN report showed the volume and variety of opioids in Southeast Asia have continued to expand to "record levels" in the past year. 63 tonnes of methamphetamine were seized in the region, an increase of more than 50% compared to 2018. The price has also dropped significantly because supply has surged. Synthetic opioids have also become more popular -- 28 different types were traded in 2019, compared to just three types in 2014. Mr Inshik Sim from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime shared his thoughts on why the trade continues to flourish in the region.
The Andaman Sea and Malacca Strait are also key locations.
