Peruvian, Ecuadorian Presidents
Hold
"Historical" Bilateral Meeting
LIMA - Peruvian President
Alan Garcia and his Ecuadorian counterpart
Rafael Correa on Thursday held talks which
were described by them as "historical"
following armed confrontation over a
century.
"We have to adjust bills with the history.
We do not have one second more to spend, our
people have lost a lot on war conflicts,"
said Correa at the end of 3rd Bilateral
Ministerial Cabinet Meeting held in Piura
city, northwest Peru.
During the meeting, the two presidents
signed six cooperation agreements.
Referring to the peace agreement signed on
Oct. 26, 1998 in the Brazilian capital of
Brasilia, the Peruvian president said "we
are surpassing the agenda" of the agreement.
"Never in the political history of Latin
America and in the world, there have been
sustained and continuous works in fact like
the ones we have been doing," Garcia added.
Over the last 100 years, Peru and Ecuador
had experienced several armed conflicts over
border issues, such as the war of 1941 in
the El Oro border area, the conflict over
the military base of Paquisha in 1981 and
the Cenepa war in 1995.
