Irregular migration was the other pillar of the dialogue. Given the migratory pressure that affects the border crossings between both countries, the presidents agreed to seek joint and technical solutions that allow for more efficient and humanitarian control of migratory flows.
This rapprochement will deepen this coming Wednesday, when the Peruvian president officially receives José Antonio Kast in the city of Lima. It is anticipated that the meeting will serve to formalize security strategies on the border and consolidate a solid regional bloc in the face of the Venezuelan crisis.
