ECUADOR: Anti-drug accord sealed with US
The US will formally hand over control of
the Manta airbase on 18 September, just over two months after the last
surveillance flight took off. Anti-drug cooperation between the US and Ecuador
will not come to an end, however, with the expiry of the lease of the Manta
forward operating location (FOL). The two countries have signed a new bilateral
accord to combat the production and trafficking of illegal drugs and connected
crimes.
