Mexico Security Chief Shares National Strategy Results at DEA Conference in Argentina

Omar García Harfuch, Mexico's Secretary of Citizen Security and Protection, represented the nation at the International Drug Control Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He presented the outcomes of Mexico's National Security Strategy, emphasizing its success and the country's approach to sovereignty and coordination with the United States.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stated that the decision to have Harfuch attend was collective, aimed at showcasing Mexico's achievements. She highlighted the importance of the conference, which gathered security secretaries globally, to demonstrate Mexico's progress and its strategy of "coordination without subordination" with the U.S.

Sheinbaum also pointed to a recent statistic: on August 13, Mexico recorded 20 intentional homicides, the lowest figure in at least 15 years. This, she asserted, demonstrates the effectiveness of the National Security Strategy in yielding tangible results.
