Keith Gilges, representing the United States Government, handed over an ambulance, lifesaving medical equipment, and two-year supply of parts and service equipment, their worth estimated at $128,000 BZD, to the Belize Coast Guard. The handover is part of a continuous collaboration between Belize and the U.S. to combat the flow of drug trafficking, presumably.
Admiral Borland spoke on behalf of the Government and people of Belize and the handover is funded by the Department of State’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.
