Ecuador announces joint anti-drug operations with Colombia and the US

Ecuador announced joint anti-drug operations with Colombia and the United States along its border, where armed groups operate. President Daniel Noboa criticized the previous Colombian administration for not effectively combating organized crime in the region. With the change of government in Colombia, with the arrival of right-wing politician Abelardo De la Espriella, the tense diplomatic relations between the two countries have shifted. Ecuador's Defense Minister, Gian Carlo Loffredo, reported that both governments will send military units to the border to carry out joint surveillance operations against the armed groups.

The Portuguese Government will make available 10 million euros in non-reimbursable support to restore the productive potential of agricultural holdings affected by the rural fires of summer 2026. The order, signed by Minister José Manuel Fernandes, officially recognizes the fires as a natural catastrophe and determines support for the most affected municipalities, such as Valpaços, where crops such as chestnut, olive groves and vineyards suffered significant losses. Holdings with damages exceeding 30% of productive potential and investments up to 400,000 euros will be eligible, with the first 10,000 euros supported at 100% and the remaining amount at 80% or 50%, depending on whether the beneficiary has agricultural insurance or not. Applications open on Thursday through the PEPAC portal.
