I hold regular meetings with foreign Government representatives to discuss respective drug strategies and share experiences of combating the international trade of illicit drugs.

Over recent months, some of the key players I have met include: President Pastrana of Colombia, General Barry McCaffrey, the US Drug Tsar, and Anders Kompass, the UN High Commissioner.
