Honduras is planning to purchase drones from Ukraine as part of its efforts to combat drug trafficking and strengthen border security, President Nasry Asfura said on Monday.

The announcement comes as the country grapples with organised crime, gang violence and narcotics trafficking networks that continue to pose major security challenges.

Asfura met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv last week. During their talks, Zelensky offered cooperation in military technology, particularly drone systems, as Ukraine seeks to expand partnerships beyond Europe while showing-off capabilities developed during its war with Russia.
