HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 28 (acn) The Cuban government as effectively advanced the fight against drug trafficking organizations, which have kept away from the country, said assistant secretary of state for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs William Brownfield.
According to a report by Cubadebate website, Brownfield said that the amount of narcotics travelling through Cuba is minimum, both aimed at the United States or any other country.
The fight on drug trafficking was one of the issues for possible cooperation addressed during the first round of talks between Cuba and the United States, held in Havana January 21 and 22.
The US official considered it useful to expand the chanels of communication to prevent the passage of suspect boats or planes, but he also said it can be done in an operative manner by the coordination between the US Coast Guard Service and the Cuban border patrols, not needing a formal policy by both governments.
As to the rest of the Caribbean, Brownfield said that as the fight on drugs in Mexico and Central America advances, it is expected that the drug trafficking organizations look at alternative routes in the future.
