Dear Editor,
In reference to the article 'Death of a beauty queen', published in your prestigious newspaper on Sunday, February 24, 2013, I hereby convey to you the following remarks:
I have taken note of the relevance that your newspaper places on incidents related to drug trafficking in my country, as well as the violence that stems from it; for instance, the article that was published about the unfortunate incident that occurred less than three months ago in a small town of Mexico.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, it would also be very important that, in order for readers to have a clearer and more objective idea of the Mexico reality, your newspaper could shed more light on the efforts that the Government of Mexico has undertaken over the last few years in the fight against this scourge.
Moreover, the unfortunate phenomenon of drug trafficking and its consequences in society, as you are aware, represent a global scourge that have stricken most of our countries in the region. In this sense, global efforts to combat drug trafficking and its pernicious effects have emerged as a necessary solution. As a result, the governments of our region have been working without respite in the fight against this phenomenon.
Finally, Mexican beauty queens who have won international titles, such as Miss Universe — as in the case of the very well-known Ms Lupita Jones and Ms Jimena Navarrete — have actively advocated on a regional basis, for the protection of women and children's rights.
It will be important to disseminate among the people of Jamaica, their tremendous humanitarian activities and work in the defence of such vulnerable groups.
I renew to you the assurances of my highest consideration.
