美国国务院助理国务卿访厄瓜多尔:移交拦截艇,签金融情报与反绑架合作协议

美国国务院负责国际毒品与执法事务的助理国务卿 F. Cartwright Weiland 于11月2日至7日访问厄瓜多尔,深化两国打击毒品恐怖组织与跨国犯罪组织的合作。美国国务院说,此访建立在国务卿卢比奥今年9月在厄瓜多尔宣布的5500万美元援助之上,其中4500万美元用于瓦解毒品恐怖组织,1000万美元用于打击非法金矿开采、帮派招募、非法金融与海上毒品走私。
在加拉帕戈斯,Weiland 向厄瓜多尔海军移交了一艘38英尺拦截艇。这是美国国务院国际毒品与执法事务局向厄瓜多尔海军与国家警察提供的14艘拦截艇中的最新一艘,用于在海上拦截贩毒者、打击非法捕捞,并把毒品挡在抵达美国之前。
在首都基多,Weiland 与厄方签署协议,厄瓜多尔金融与经济分析局(UAFE)将获得美国 Palantir 公司先进数据分析技术的使用,帮助识别非法金融网络、支持洗钱起诉、切断毒品恐怖组织的非法收益。Weiland 还与厄瓜多尔内政部长 John Reimberg 续签了2024年的反绑架与反勒索合作协议:自签约以来,厄瓜多尔警方的反绑架反勒索部门与美国使领馆合作,已营救8名美国公民。双方另签署意向声明,共同打击非法黄金走私。(来源:美国国务院)
U.S. Assistant Secretary Weiland in Ecuador: Interceptor Boat Handover, Financial-Intelligence and Anti-Kidnapping Deals
F. Cartwright Weiland, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, traveled to Ecuador from November 2 to 7 to deepen cooperation against the narcoterrorist and transnational criminal organizations that threaten both countries. The State Department said the visit built on $55 million in assistance that Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in Ecuador in September, including $45 million to dismantle narcoterrorist groups and $10 million to combat illegal gold mining, gang recruitment, illicit finance and maritime drug trafficking.
In the Galápagos, Weiland transferred a 38-foot interceptor boat to the Ecuadorian Navy, the latest of 14 interceptors the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is providing to Ecuador's navy and national police to intercept drug traffickers, disrupt illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and stop drugs at sea before they reach the United States.
In Quito, Weiland and Ecuadorian officials signed an agreement giving Ecuador's Financial and Economic Analysis Unit (UAFE) access to advanced data analytics technology from the U.S. company Palantir, to better identify illicit financial networks, support money-laundering prosecutions and cut off narcoterrorists' profits. Weiland and Interior Minister John Reimberg also renewed a 2024 anti-kidnapping and anti-extortion agreement, under which Ecuador's specialized police unit has worked with the U.S. Embassy and Consulate to rescue eight U.S. citizens, and the two sides signed a declaration of intent to combat illicit gold trafficking.
