Press Release: EU approves strategy on citizen security in Central America and the Caribbean

The Council of the European Union on the 30 July 2014 adopted an EU strategy on citizen security in Central America and the Caribbean, based on a joint proposal from the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy and the European Commission.

Pervasive insecurity for citizens in the region threatens economic and social development and weakens the region's response to organized crime and illegal trafficking. The strategy offers support by combining political dialogue, coordinated capacity building and closer cooperation with international partners.
