In order to ensure an effective response to transnational criminal organizations,
on Monday reaffirmed the Peruvian Government's political will to strengthen coordination with various States to join efforts in dismantling these criminal networks.
During his address, the Cabinet chief emphasized that Peru is fully aware that the fight against organized crime cannot be undertaken in isolation, but requires a shared vision among countries.
"We need to boost an international coalition to more effectively combat these illegal organizations. This requires sharing strategic intelligence, harmonizing our regulations, coordinating our law enforcement efforts, and strengthening our judicial institutions," he added.
In that regard, Arana reported that bilateral meetings have been held with the Governments of Chile and Colombia, aimed at aligning regulations to address cross-border organized crime.
Lastly, the Prime Minister stated that confronting these criminal groups is an urgent task and a shared responsibility that must be translated into concrete actions.
"This is a fight to defend our citizens, who deserve to live in peace and security. Our democracies cannot be challenged by illicit interests," he added.
The event brought together representatives from security and justice institutions of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the European Union.
It was attended by Judiciary Chairwoman Janet Tello; Ministers Carlos Malaver (Interior) and Enrique Alcantara (Justice-Human Rights); as well as European Union Ambassador to Peru, Jonathan Hatwell, and PAcCTO 2.0 Director Javier Samper.
