The Uruguayan president met in New York with his counterparts from Bolivia and Paraguay within the framework of Urupabol. They also reviewed changes to update the bloc’s economic, logistics and connectivity agenda.
Uruguay’s president, Yamandú Orsi, held a meeting this Wednesday in New York with the leaders of Bolivia and Paraguay within the framework of Urupabol, according to Subrayado based on a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
During the meeting, one of the main topics was regional security. According to that statement, the three countries committed to organizing themselves to combat transnational organized crime through intelligence sharing, police and institutional cooperation, and border coordination.
Speaking to the press, Orsi said that such coordination is not optional but necessary. “We need each other,” he said, and stressed that, given the speed at which this phenomenon is advancing, the level of alignment among governments must also increase. He also noted that the security teams of the three countries are already working naturally and with successful results.
According to Subrayado, the meeting also assessed the need to review the agreements that gave rise to the group in order to update them to current economic and trade requirements.
Among the points mentioned were strengthening efficient logistics to take advantage of the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway, cooperation in navigation and port infrastructure, and promoting greater regional air connectivity through open skies agreements.
