During the meeting, the Government of Jujuy put forward a series of proposals aimed at improving the operation of the Jama Integrated Border Complex and consolidating the operation of the Capricorn Bioceanic Corridor as a key axis for international trade and regional connectivity.
Among the main issues addressed, Marenco promoted the incorporation of a scanner for the control of cargo transport in Jama, an initiative that was incorporated into the agenda by national border security authorities.
It was also proposed to advance in the implementation of a Simplified Migration System at the border crossing, with the aim of eliminating paper forms and streamlining controls, taking as a reference mechanisms already applied at other international crossings in the region.
Another of the proposals made by Jujuy was linked to the need to regularize the ownership situation of the lands where the Jama Border Complex is located, a condition considered fundamental to enable future expansion, modernization and infrastructure improvements.
In operational matters, the provincial government also promoted the creation of a permanent system of communication and coordination between the intervening agencies and the subnational states, with the purpose of strengthening joint decision-making in the face of climatic and operational contingencies.
In this framework, it was proposed to implement monitoring mechanisms on the Chilean side, establish consensual emergency protocols and strengthen binational coordination to optimize the operation of the international crossing.
Finally, Jujuy raised the need to move towards the unification of criteria linked to the weight and dimensions of cargo transport that circulates through the Capricorn Bioceanic Corridor, seeking to generate common parameters that favor a safer, more efficient and predictable circulation for international transport.
Jujuy’s participation in this space reaffirms the Government’s commitment to strengthening regional integration, the development of strategic infrastructure and the consolidation of the Bioceanic Corridor as a platform for economic and logistical growth for the north
