“There are six states to which the State Department asks US citizens to avoid traveling: Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas,” Salazar said in a brief statement.
He explained that the security situations presented by these entities “highlight the importance” of the Bicentennial Framework between Mexico and the United States, in which both nations committed to improving security and better protecting people.
“Without security there is no prosperity,” he said.
These statements are given just a few days after various violent acts in states such as Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Michoacán, Jalisco and Guanajuato, due to which, according to some counts in the national press, between Wednesday, August 10 and Friday, August 12, 260 murders were accumulated in Mexico.

To do this, he said, he will be traveling to the regions that have security challenges to deal with shared challenges and help fulfill the obligations to which Presidents Joe Biden and Andrés Manuel López Obrador undertook on July 12 in Washington. .
“Together we can forge a more prosperous and secure future for the people of North America,” he insisted.
Among the challenges, he said, are the fight against drug trafficking, arms and human trafficking, in addition to reducing drug abuse and addiction.
However, he congratulated Nayarit, the State of Mexico and Coahuila for improving their security levels and “therefore, a better level within the 2022 Travel Alert,” Salazar settled.
