| We invite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, Laura Saravia Torres. | ||
| Good afternoon to all. | ||
| We truly thank the fact that you are here. | ||
| We just completed, finished, an open communication with the Secretary of Security, Christine Norm of the United States. | ||
| We want to thank her visit in the country, their honest conversation we had, and to have conversation between women so we can advance together in these type of topics that are important for both countries. | ||
| This is a diplomatic meeting with the bilateral agenda we have, the fruit of this communication, the communication with the authorities of both countries. | ||
| We signed today an intention letter for the strengthening of the cooperation on affairs of information of migrations to establish specific realistic measures and effective ones that can ensure the consolidation of our relationship, friendship with the United States, and to ensure that the human rights and the dignity of migrants are actually respected. | ||
| We personally want to thank, and on behalf of the government of Colombia, to the Secretary Nome for her visit, the proposed agenda we have in terms of immigration security, commerce and the fight against drug trafficking. | ||
| We're going to strand the deep friendship bonds and cooperation bonds that we have for more than 200 years that has joined our nations. | ||
| We might have much more information. | ||
| We will see each other in agendas like this one later on and specifically with more specific outcomes. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you so much, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia. | ||
| Now, we're going to hear the remarks of the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Christine Noem. | ||
| Well, thank you, and I want to thank the Minister of Foreign Affairs for welcoming me here today. | ||
| The hospitality of the people of Colombia has been absolutely remarkable. | ||
| And I want to thank you for having me and my team come and have be a part of a frank discussion and a candid discussion on what we can do to be partners into the future and continue to have a cooperative effort to address the concerns that both of our countries share. | ||
| I do want to thank the minister, who now I will refer to as my friend, and we'll call her Laura, as she is a strong leader. | ||
| I appreciate the fact that we have had the opportunity not just to share our policy concerns, also what our people are concerned about as far as public safety issues, drug trafficking, human trafficking, how we may combat organized crime together, but also what we can do to help bring our countries closer together to partner in a new way, in a historical way, that will bring results that both of our people need to be successful. | ||
| Today, we have signed a statement of intent for biometric cooperation, and it will reaffirm our strong and resilient and enduring partnership that we have between the United States and Colombia. | ||
| We're going to strengthen our regional security systems and make sure that we're disrupting the movement of threatening actors that perpetuate illegal activity and also facilitate illegal trafficking of migrants across the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| I believe that Colombia and the United States can be leaders in this area and that we can bring other countries to the table in a cooperative effort to address our security concerns that we all share. | ||
| We're committed to working hand in hand with our Colombian partners to enhance not only border security but also that we will support the enforcement of our immigration and our criminal laws. | ||
| We do appreciate the President and his team and the minister working to facilitate the repatriation of Colombian nationals back to their country, and we'll continue to work on that as well. | ||
| But through this expansion of sharing of biometric data, it will be much more efficient, effective, accurate, and it will also build cooperation that will open doors to new ways that we can continue to work together. | ||
| This deployment of biometric capabilities under the Department of Homeland Security's biometric data sharing partnership is going to help us make an impact by helping Colombia and by helping the Colombian people detect and to stop criminals and terrorists from attempting to cross its borders. | ||
| So while we work together, the people of Colombia will be safer, they will have an opportunity to thrive, and their economy will do better. | ||
| And the country of the United States of America, under the leadership of President Trump, is leading the way in ensuring that we build cooperative efforts to address the threats that we all face. | ||
| We recognize that there are dangerous criminals and organized, sophisticated cartels and criminal organizations that we need to address together in order to end the horrific things that are being conducted in our communities each and every day. | ||
| So thank you today for all that you have done in facilitating this meeting and signing this agreement. | ||
| Thank you for showing me your historic facilities. | ||
| I've enjoyed your beautiful flowers and your fantastic coffee, and you have fed me often. | ||
| So I will be back many times to continue to work with you and the people of Colombia because of the importance of the work that you are doing here in making sure we're addressing public safety. | ||
| So thank you and thank you, Laura, my friend, for all that you've done. | ||
