Speaking on this occasion, the first president said that this agreement is a sustainable framework for exchanging knowledge and best practices to adopt an integrated control approach that ensures better complementarity between the different types of control both jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional, as well as the development of professional capacity and approaches to auditing and accountability, especially in aspects related to digital transformation and processing of complaints, for the benefit of citizens at the level of both countries.
