"The Americas Counter Cartel Coalition forum, hosted by our good friends in Panama, signals a decisive shift in our regional fight against cartels and narco-terrorists. Our goal is simple: turn this coalition into a functioning, synchronized team that takes the fight to the enemy. We cannot afford to just meet and discuss. We must take action together, working shoulder-to-shoulder to apply total systemic friction on these terrorist networks and safeguard our hemisphere." — #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L.
