"The fight against cartels and narco-terrorists in the Western Hemisphere requires the combined efforts and strength of committed nations. In Panama, we witnessed this commitment firsthand during the multinational PANAMAX 2026 exercise and at the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition Forum. My sincere thanks to the Government of Panama and Minister of Public Security Frank Alexis Ábrego for co-hosting both exceptional events." — #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L.
