It was signed by ministers and foreign ministers from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru to coordinate efforts to combat transnational organized crime.
"It is an important initiative that complements the 'Shield of the Americas.' The Santiago initiative is being implemented (…)," Pareja said.
"Regarding the 'Shield of the Americas,' what is important are the intelligence capabilities that the United States can provide us with. There will be a good relationship between the two organizations," he pointed out.
