IN an official visit to Colombia, South African Deputy President Jacob Zuma on Monday signed an agreement with his South American counterpart Gustavo Bell to cooperate in the fight against drug trafficking. The document shows both countries’ intent to establish a bilateral committee of top-level officials enjoined to find solutions to the drug problem and to report back to their respective governments in the next six months, the state news agency Ancol explained. “Drug trafficking and related crimes are a transnational crisis that affect countries worldwide and need to be treated with multilateral cooperation in the search for joint solutions,” the two vice presidents said. The trip is the second stop for Zuma on a week-long visit that also included a stop in Mexico aimed at building ties and improving trade relations in Latin America.
