TEGUCIGALPA, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- A top U.S. government anti- drug official on Wednesday pledged his country's continued support for Honduras' fight against drug trafficking, local media reported.
William Brownfield, the U.S. State Department's Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, told a radio station in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa, "there are many areas in which we are going to continue collaborating in the future."
Brownfield arrived in Honduras Tuesday from Guatemala for a two-day visit to meet with newly-instated Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez and his top aides, and consolidate the U.S. collaboration in fighting crimes.
He described his meeting with President Hernandez Tuesday night as "positive, serious and frank."
In his interview with Radio America de Tegucigalpa, Brownfield said officials were working to find a solution to the problem of drug-trafficking in Honduras.
Regarding Honduras' request for a radar to beef up its anti- drug fight, Brownfield said, "the radar is only one element of a whole package, a part of the solution."
