Panama is not alone! You can count on Colombia's support and our full willingness to provide whatever assistance is needed.

I am not the kind of president who abandons his heroes in difficult times.

Innocent people should not pay for the guilty.

You don't build peace by protecting narco-terrorists like this bandit.

We need to affect the pocket of the criminals because it will hurt them.

We’re going to do what we have to do regarding fiscal discipline, the legal certainty, efficiency, expanding better investment conditions.

We’re against illegal migration, which is something different.

We’re going to have our own resource and we hope to build together capabilities to be able to face sophisticated threats.

We need to turn all those opportunities that Colombia has in investments and productive chains, in manufacturing and also in employment for our people.

Colombia wants to become the first hemispheric security partner with the U.S.

For every police officer or soldier murdered, we will bring the full weight and legitimate force of the State down upon the criminals.
