The Deputy Manager of Conditioning and Territorial Planning of the Regional Government of Moquegua, Edwin Arias, indicated that there are still delimitation problems between Moquegua and Tacna and that these originated in 1988 with the creation of the Tacneñas provinces Jorge Basadre and Candarave.

Since then, there were more problems at the Salinas de Puite populated center, near Ite, where the mining activity is also carried out with the installation of the Toppala mine. The situation remains in discrepancy about whether part of its operations are in Moqueguan territory, he said.
Request exact coordinates
Arias said that, without a defined delimitation with exact coordinates, territorial belonging cannot be affirmed with certainty.

It is not the first time that officials or authorities of Moquegua doubt the limits established since 1988 for the regions of Tacna and Moquegua. They affirm that part of the Toppala mine, of the Mining company Southern Peru, would be in Moqueguano territory and therefore part of the mining canon that generates should be delivered to Moquegua.
