Faced with the spread of illegal mining operations across common borders, the Andean Community trade bloc, made up of Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia, held a meeting to coordinate joint actions.
Officials from the mining, environment, defense and foreign ministries of the four member countries met to discuss an operating plan, the Andean Community said in a statement.
The plan aims to improve monitoring of minerals exports and imports, transport, processing and trading, in addition to any materials related to illegal mining operations including machinery, raw materials and fuel, according to the statement.
