Honduras and Colombia Sign Pact

Colombian Foreign Minister Jaime Bermudez and Honduran Minister of Security Oscar Alvarez signed an agreement that allows the sharing of intelligence on drug trafficking, kidnapping and organized crime between Colombia and Honduras.

Alvarez said that cooperation with Colombia will mean the creation of joint intelligence units, anti-narcotics units, anti-terrorism units and anti-kidnapping units, and more.

Bermudez said that the new Honduran government has shown “interest and concern” in the fight against drug trafficking.

Minister Alvarez is meeting this week with Vice President, Francisco Santos, Security Agency DAS Director, Felipe Munoz, and National Police Commissioner, Oscar Naranjo while he is visiting Colombia.

Colombian President Alvaro Uribe was the first official dignitary to recognize the new government of Honduras when he traveled to see the inaugurated President Lobo at the end of January.
