Officials from Costa Rica and Peru recently visited San Salvador to learn about the city’s urban planning and security strategies, as part of a program organized by ONWARD International. The delegation, which included mayors and councilors from both countries, focused on the Sivar Seguro municipal security strategy and the revitalization efforts in the Historic Center of the Salvadoran capital.

The exchange aimed to share best practices and experiences in urban development, security, and international cooperation. The visiting officials toured the renovated Historic Center of San Salvador, where they observed significant improvements in infrastructure and public spaces. They also participated in discussions about the strategies that have contributed to enhancing citizen security in the capital.

The Mayor’s Office of San Salvador emphasized the importance of strengthening partnerships between Costa Rica, Peru, and El Salvador to build safer and more resilient communities. “The visit reinforces the commitment of Costa Rica, Peru, and El Salvador to move forward together towards safer and more developed societies,” the municipality stated.

This collaborative effort highlights the ongoing regional commitment to improving urban environments and ensuring the safety of citizens across the three nations.
