Panama Looks at Drug
Trafficking
Panama - The
design of strategies to
face drug trafficking
focuses Friday the
summit of heads of State
from Panama, Colombia,
Guatemala and Mexico, in
a hotel at the outskirts
of the capital.
According to sources
from the Foreign Affairs
Ministry, the official
agenda includes exchange
among statesmen this
afternoon. Authorities
have confirmed the
presence of Mexico's
President Felipe
Calderon, Colombia's
Alvaro Uribe,
Guatemala's Alvaro Colom,
as well as his host
Martin Torrijos.
Panamanian Foreign
Minister Samuel Lewis
said the meeting will
adopt guidelines in the
struggle against drug
trafficking and
organized crime.
As part of the event,
representatives from
public safety, police
investigation and
migration have been
meeting since Thursday.
Groups of experts have
discussed monitoring,
capture and trial of
those who commit a crime
through drug trafficking
in those countries.
Another aim of the
meeting is to achieve a
firm, decisive step in
the coordination of
efforts to fight
organized crime,
international crime, and
drug trafficking. |
