#SRE.- The second meeting of the Mexico-China Working Group on Chemical Precursors was held today. Its objective was to advance bilateral cooperation efforts for the control and detection of chemical precursors and other substances used in the illicit manufacture of drugs.

The meeting approved the rules of operation of the working group, which define the areas of collaboration to prevent and combat illegal drug manufacturing activities, as well as the diversion of precursor chemicals into illicit channels.

The Chinese delegation was led by the National Narcotics Control Commission and included representatives from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, the General Bureau of Customs, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and the Public Security Department of Shandong Province. The Mexican delegation was led by the Ministry of the Navy (Semar) and included officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (SRE) and National Defense (Sedena), the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the Mexican National Customs Agency (ANAM) and the Federal Commission for Protection Against Health Risks (Cofepris).

This meeting took place within the framework of the visit of a delegation from the People’s Republic of China to Mexico from September 2 to 6, in reciprocity to the visit made to that country by a Mexican delegation in October 2023. The purpose was to give continuity to the dialogue and agreements reached between both nations to address the illicit trafficking of precursor chemicals and other substances.

The Chinese delegation’s program included visits to the Port of Veracruz on September 3 and to the Felipe Angeles International Airport (AIFA) on September 5. The objective was to learn about security and surveillance measures in Mexican port and airport areas, as well as control and inspection procedures for precursor chemicals and other substances entering the country to prevent their diversion for illicit use.
