Security

La Segunda, Saturday, March 28, 2020

Dear Director:

I hope the recent examples of issues we have faced—coronavirus, cyberattacks, transnational crime, and drug trafficking at our northern border, civil unrest, and insurgency reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s—allow us to understand that national security is much more than the threat posed by other sovereign states. In addition, I emphasize the need to revisit the concept and composition of the National Security Council, the necessity of having a national security advisor to lead the country’s strategy in this area, and to act as the executive director of the council. We can no longer wait for more examples in this regard to act and be prepared for the threats of the modern world.
