Bolivia and Peru to boost bilateral security efforts
According to Bolivia’s deputy minister of controlled substances, Felipe Cáceres, discussions are underway with Peruvian authorities about the installation of radars in both countries in a bid to improve bilateral cooperation against drug trafficking. With a meeting due in Cochabamba in October to firm up the proposal, Cáceres made his announcement on 12 August, a day after representatives from the anti-drugs division of Peru’s national police (Dirandro) told the Peruvian daily El Comercio that half of all the cocaine leaving Peru now goes out on small planes, with 95% of that moving through Bolivia, bound mainly for Brazil.
