00:00I just want to bring you more on one of our top stories, the violence in Mexico following the death
00:05of its most wanted drugs overlord.
00:08Colombia's Minister of Defense has been giving me his reaction.
00:12That shows us how the power of the drugs can achieve.
00:19If we don't defeat the international crime, we can have similar situation.
00:26On one side, of course, it was a strategic attack against a criminal organization crime, but also show us the
00:40capability of the criminals that defeat the government.
00:45So it is necessary to think about how we can defeat an international community against international crime.
00:54The Munich Security Conference emphasized geopolitical competition, evolving threats and instability worldwide.
01:02What implications do you see for Latin America?
01:06The policies of several countries around the world are focused on strengthening their defense capabilities, which increase global risk.
01:21Latin America, which has not been a continent marked by major international threats or highly complex international conflicts between states,
01:37has not prioritized expanding its defense capabilities against other nations.
01:48Instead, we face more localized problems related to international organized crime.
01:57Therefore, our continent promotes the peaceful revolutions of conflicts, especially international ones.
02:06We hope that no country targets other nations, but rather cooperates for peace and security.
02:15How would you assess the current state of security across South America?
02:23Security in South America can also be measured by through tourism, which has increased significantly as has has has the
02:36economy.
02:37In Colombia's case, economy improvement is indicator of security.
02:43However, we face very significant challenges from international organized crime.
02:51We seek to expand its capability due to highly profit, profit, profitable, illicit economies such as a drug trafficking, illegal
03:06meaning and human trafficking.
03:08This means the problems is not about weapons, but this problem is also about to solve economic and social problems.
03:22So, let's see.
