Given the changes in the price of coal, the ban that the national government is proposing for new exploration and exploitation contracts, the challenges of economic diversification and the process of constructing development plans, the discussions about the present and the future of the sector become more necessary.
Therefore, the newspaper EL PILÓN, in its mission to inform and contribute to the debate on public affairs, will hold the forum ‘Coal, royalties and transformation of territories’ this Thursday, February 22, in the Yui room of the Sicarare hotel, in the city of Valledupar.
