He said the conference was very important for Peru, because it brought together representatives from more than sixty countries and ten international organizations.

The event also resulted in the signing of various agreements on information exchange and open the possibility of developing common actions against organized crime and drug trafficking.

Moreover, Roncagliolo confirmed that Peru's Commission for Development and Life without Drugs, Devida, will soon host a meeting on alternative development.
