HAVANA, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Cuba continues to carry out zero-tolerance policy against narcotics, President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday.
"Cuba ratifies its zero-tolerance policy against that global scourge," he said on Twitter, adding that the Cuban government constantly combats drug trafficking.
Earlier on Monday, Cuban daily newspaper Granma said that local authorities will continue to boost international collaboration against illegal drug trafficking.
Nelson Gutierrez, director of management and risk control at the General Customs of the Republic of Cuba (AGR), said that the island has seen increasing attempts to smuggle illicit drugs in 2023.
In January this year, the AGR inaugurated in Havana an office to enhance real-time operational communication between international airports, so as to counter organized crime, illicit drug trafficking and terrorism. ■
