Central Asian states are facing a grave threat to their security from drug trafficking in recent years. Geo-strategic location, unstable socio-political situation, and emergence of radical parties are providing the leitmotif to the proliferation of illegal trade in this region. In some cases, there appears a linkage between drug trafficking and rebel movements on the one hand and the law enforcement authorities on the other. The problem requires adoption of a multi-pronged approach on part of the state authorities of these countries in combating the menace. Civil society organizations can also play an important role in this regard in raising the aware-ness of people regarding the negative consequences of drug use and trade. What may be useful is a firm commitment on the part of political elite in meeting the challenges emanating from drug trafficking. Augmenting the existing regional cooperative arrangements like CSTO, SCO and CACO is also necessary
