Peace consolidation between Peru and Ecuador
Presidents of Peru and Ecuador place last border milestone consolidating peace
Peace between Peru and Ecuador was consolidated when Presidents Alberto Fujimori Fujimori and Jamil Mahuad placed the last milestone on the border. However, the handing over of one square kilometer in Tiwinza does not convince many sectors, including high-ranking military officers and the population of Loreto. This act marks the formal end of the border conflict between the two countries.
