The Government of Japan delivered a $3.3 million donation to Ecuador aimed at strengthening public safety. The funds will be channeled to acquire patrol vehicles that will operate under the management of the Ministry of the Interior.
This contribution was formalized on March 27 through the signing of the exchange of notes between both countries, thus consolidating a key bilateral cooperation. The initiative is part of President Daniel Noboa's diplomatic effort to establish strategic international alliances.
In line with this active foreign policy, in February Ecuador also signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Union on security issues. This agreement provides a legal framework to offer institutional support through technical and operational cooperation.
President Noboa requested Chancellor Gabriela Sommerfeld to prioritize alliances with countries that can contribute to the fight against organized crime. This vision seeks to articulate comprehensive solutions to the threats that compromise public peace.
