A global network of 14 ports aimed at combating drug trafficking will launch on Monday, November 9, 2026, in Marseille as part of the G7, according to Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot. The goal is to track shipments using tools like artificial intelligence to better connect ports. According to Jean-Noel Barrot, 70% of the narcotics entering the country pass through ports. The first meeting of this network will be held in Marseille, where the G7 foreign ministers' meeting was originally scheduled to take place before being moved to Paris. The minister emphasized the need to address drug trafficking at its root by targeting producer and transit countries, and praised the good cooperation of countries, particularly those in South America.
