Ecuador and Colombia on Sunday agreed to the bilateral reopening of their shared border from the start of December after it was closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, and pledged to work together to combat drug trafficking.
The shared border was shut in March 2020 as both governments looked to curb the spread of coronavirus. The controlled reopening, complete with epidemiological measures, will bring greater security and economic activity to the zone.
Ecuador is beset by a wave of crime that has caused homicides to spike which the country's authorities link to the trafficking and consumption of drugs. "Ecuador will receive everything it needs from Colombia to fight against organized crime," Colombia's President Ivan Duque said.
