U.S. Coast Guard Commandant visits with Chief of the Colombian Coast Guard
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
We had a visit from an old friend and partner today, Rear Admiral Hernando Wills-Velez, Commander of the Colombian Coast Guard. We have built an extraordinary relationship with the Colombian Coast Guard and Navy over the last ten years. We are participating in multinational training courses hosted by Colombia in Cartagena this month.
The Colombian government has passed legislation outlawing operation of self propelled semi-submersibles similar to our domestic legislation.
We remain committed to our collective effort to attack the cocaine flow from South America.
