Jairala meets with Carrasco to discuss border issues

Prefects Jimmy Jairala, from Guayas, and Paul Carrasco, from Azuay, meet today in the prefecture of Guayas in Guayaquil, to discuss the border dispute between the two provinces.

“It’s a meeting that will undoubtedly serve to chart a course, and see if we get to the mediation”, Jairala said.

Of the 1,493 square kilometers that Guayas dispute, 607.82 borders Azuay. The sectors in conflict are Suya – Putucay and Abdón Calderón.

Jairala also called for a meeting of the Provincial Council on Friday to address the limits and seek possibilities for an agreement.
