Peru will hold three Binational Cabinets with Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia this year, Foreign Affairs Minister Ricardo Luna announced this morning.

Said meetings will take place on October 7 (Ecuador) and November 4 (Bolivia).

Date for the gathering with Colombia is yet to be confirmed. However, it might take place on December 5

Border integration is among main topics, noted the government official during his presentation before Congress Foreign Affairs Commission.

"Efforts are being made to reactivate existing integration mechanisms with Chile" following The Hague ruling on the maritime border dispute held between both countries.

The diplomat also highlighted completion of Peru's external boundary delimitation following the verdict, regarded as "a historic achievement."
