The Chamber of Mines of Peru provided training on mining and metallurgical issues with a global and sustainable approach.
Strengthening its international presence, The Chamber of Mines of Peru initiated a training program for the Vice-Presidency of Bolivia.
Companies under the Bolivian Ministry of Mining and Metallurgy (MMM) also participated here; for example, members of COMIBOL (Colquiri, Huanuni, Corocoro and Capuratas), SERGEOMIN, SENARECOM and AJAM, as well as the private companies Sinchi Wayra and San Cristóbal.
MBA Luis Alva Florián, chairman of the Technical Advisory Committee of The Chamber of Mines of Peru, was in charge of the discussion on mining and metallurgical issues.
The inauguration of the mining training program for the Vice Presidency of Bolivia was in charge of the Minister of Mining and Metallurgy, César Navarro.
During his presentation, he highlighted the historical ties that unite the two countries. He also acknowledged the presence of social organizations such as the Union Federation of Bolivian Mine Workers (FSTMB), with its representative Orlando Gutiérrez, and the National Committee of Housewives.
He also welcomed the presence of engineer César Gallardo, CEO of The Chamber of Mines of Peru, at the Vice Presidency training.
“Welcome, César (Gallardo). The meeting we had in Lima was very productive, as was the meeting that President Evo Morales had with former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski,” said Navarro.
On the other hand, the head of Bolivian MMM indicated that mining generates income such as taxes and royalties, which boost the economy of the southern country.
“We have to overcome the old mining that left pollution and poverty with environmental liabilities. More than 800,000 people live directly from mining, which means about 7% of the Bolivian population,” said Navarro.
For his part, the CEO of our institution, César Gallardo, considered that this mining training in the Vice Presidency of Bolivia should serve to promote more responsible mining.
“Beyond generating wealth, environmental protection with social responsibility is fundamental for everyone.”
“We want clean mining, responsible mining and we have agreed. We promote an important phrase: ‘Mining for everyone’”, added engineer Gallardo.
