Lima, October 26 to November 5, 2017
Mistura, Latin America’s most important gastronomy fair, celebrates its 10th anniversary with full fanfare at its new venue: the historic district of Rimac, the source of ancient traditions and the birthplace of Peruvian creole music and cuisine. The 10th edition of the fair will be held this year between October 26 and November 5, a sunny time of year
A highlight of this 10th anniversary is the fact that Mistura has consolidated its place as Latin America’s most important food fair and that the three latest opinion polls by IPSOS Rank it as one of the two best brands to represent Peru.
To celebrate this first decade, Mistura returns to its essence at a fairground that is warm and welcoming and closer to the public. The design will be more inviting, with colored awnings and wooden stalls that will replace the large tents of previous years, and the street foods will be sold from their original carts.
ANCHORED IN OUR HISTORY AND CULTURE
Apega has chosen the historic center of Rimac as the backdrop for this 10th edition, a district that represents the country’s diversity and integration from its prehispanic origins, the later Spanish colonial period, and the large Afro-Peruvian population that settled in the classic neighborhood of Malambo. And, of course, the influx of migrants from different regions of Peru.
We would like to emphasize that Mistura is moving to this district under special circumstances, as the joint effort of the Rimac Municipality and the Heritage foundation seek to restore and enhance the value of its monuments and cultural heritage. Those who visit the fair will have the opportunity to admire the district’s main attractions, which form part of the historic center of Lima as the “Cultural Heritage to Humanity” recognized by Unesco. A stroll by the Ingunza Lookout point or through the Convent of the Barefoot Friars and the romantic Alameda; a walk along Jiron Trujillo or the Paseo de Aguas; or a visit to the stone bridge or the Acho bullring are just a few of the activities that visitors can enjoy in this district known as “under the bridge.”
Those who have had the pleasure of enjoying old Lima can relive the revelries and the endless nights of under-the-bridge music sessions, as at the classic Parral or the more recent Amistad y Criollismo and the Hatuchay with its stronger Andean influence. Inebriated by the nostalgic sound of Peruvian guitars and cajones, and flirting with the partner of the moment, few of us were aware that there, outside these venues and in between the narrow alleyways, not only was creole music being created but another phenomenon was being cooked up: the culture of creole cuisine under the inspired hands of cooks like Rosita Rios.
Rimac was also where the Amancaes festival was held, an annual event that attracted huge crowds from every sector of society to celebrate together. Food and drinks alternated with music, songs and dancing, and the most famous artistes would come from all over the country. It was a fiesta of every race and ethnic origin in Peru, we could say it was a harbinger of today’s Mistura.
THE GASTRONOMIC PROPOSAL
We are renewing the gastronomic proposal for this edition of the fair, with different restaurants and contemporary trends such as ceviche bars, market stalls, health food restaurants and innovative bars. Tradition will also be well represented with restaurants, food cars and delicious typical desserts.
To pay homage to the enterprising efforts of Peruvian cooks, this year we will be welcoming the women of Catacaos and their traditional cuisine, strong and supportive women who overcame the tragedy of the Niño floods in northern Peru. These businesses seek to recharge their economy after the losses and difficulties earlier this year, and being a part of Mistura is a good way to turn the page and carry on their traditions and flavors. Along the same lines, and in alliance with the Eat Fish program, we will have a pavilion of delicious and nutritious seafood dishes cooked by the talented wives of fishermen.
CACAO, CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE WILL HAVE A SPECIAL PAVILION
Cacao, chocolate and coffee will given a special pavilion in which to pay them tribute. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the varieties of flavors and aromas and the ways they are prepared.
As always, pisco will be given a special place to display the best distilled spirits from different production areas of the country.
Another of the novelties this year will be an area dedicated to broths, lawas, chowders, bisques and other traditional soups from all over Peru. Visitors will be able to savor varieties from a delicious shrimp chowder to a chicken and peanut soup from the rain forest called Inchicapi.
THE GRAND MARKET AND AUTHENTIC SEAFOOD CUISINE
The heart and greatest pride of Mistura is the Grand Market, this year with a new design and the presence of small farmers who will bring their supplies of excellent and varied products typical of different parts of the country. The best Peruvian cooks will give demonstrations on how to use the market products to cook delicious and healthy meals.
Another novelty will be the participation of the wives of fishermen from Ancon and Marcona, who will be providing delicious seafood dishes, prepared with affordable types of seafood. They will also provide tips to visitors on how to recognize the quality and freshness of good fish.
RECOGNITIONS AND PRIZES
As part of the celebrations for our 10th anniversary, recognition is being given to the iconic restaurants that have accompanied us from the beginning. And in a special ceremony, we will be paying tribute to the leading players that have made this cultural emblem, the Mistura fair, possible.
The sixth edition of the Teresa Izquierdo contest will include the community kitchens of the coast, Andean highlands and the rain forest. For the third consecutive year, we wish to highlight the work of the mothers in the community kitchens, who feed close to a million Peruvians. The winners will have a space at Mistura from which to share their specialties with visitors.
Indonesia will be our guest country in this year’s Mistura, with a pavilion where visitors can get to know their traditional cuisine and customs. The representative of Indonesian cuisine at the fair will be the outstanding chef Vania Wibisono, a great promoter of healthy and balanced nutrition.
LOCATION
We would also like to highlight this 10th fair’s purpose to encourage new visitors from different parts of the city. There is an excellent connection between Rimac and the districts of North Lima (such as Comas, Los Olivos, Independencia) and Central Lima (San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate) to the fairgrounds, not to mention the easy access via the Metropolitano, the Blue Corridor bus service and the final station on the Metro 1 line.

Ambassador Fernando Quirós paid a courtesy call on Mrs. Suphatra Srimaitreephithak, Director - General of Thailand International Cooperation Agency. Both sides agreed to make their best efforts to strengthen the cooperation and promote capacity building programs between Thailand and Peru.
Estimados connacionales:
Es grato dirigirme a todos los compatriotas
residentes en el exterior con ocasión de la celebración del 196° aniversario de
nuestra independencia. En esta fecha tan importante, sentimos con mayor fuerza
todo aquello que nos hace ser peruanos y nos permite reflexionar sobre nuestro
pasado, presente y futuro.
No es fácil vivir lejos de la Patria, de
nuestras familias y de nuestras raíces. La distancia hace necesario tener
coraje y tesón para afrontar los desafíos que se presentan en la búsqueda de
nuevas oportunidades. Así también supone un reto para la transmisión y
aceptación de nuestra rica cultura por parte de las nuevas generaciones nacidas
en el exterior.
A pesar de ello, el arraigo hacia lo nuestro
se manifiesta fuerte e imperturbable. Evidencia de ello fue la respuesta de esa
Comunidad Peruana para hacer frente a los terribles momentos que sufrió el país
a causa del fenómeno natural de “El Niño Costero”. Las grandes muestras de
solidaridad que movieron a miles de peruanos desde el extranjero, son una clara
señal de una de las mayores fortalezas que tiene el Perú: su gente. Y es que
cuando nos unimos hacemos patria y somos UNA SOLA FUERZA!
Consciente de ello, y a través de la búsqueda
de un país moderno, justo y una revolución social, mi gobierno busca
simplificar trámites y mejorar la atención a los ciudadanos peruanos que
residen más allá de nuestras fronteras. En general, nuestro propósito es
acercar al Estado a ustedes, representantes del Perú, que día a día contribuyen
con el desarrollo de nuestro país y la difusión de nuestro acervo cultural en
el extranjero.
Al conmemorarse un aniversario más de nuestra
independencia, hago llegar a cada uno de ustedes y sus familias, mi más sincero
agradecimiento por la ayuda recibida con ocasión del mencionado fenómeno
natural y el reconocimiento por sus extraordinarios esfuerzos para llevar
siempre muy en alto su peruanidad.
¡Felices Fiestas!
¡Qué viva el Perú!

Pablo Kuczinsky

Constitucional de la República del Perú

Lima, January 24,
2018.- Machu Picchu, our majestic Inca citadel and one of the most visited and
photographed destinations in South America does not go out of style. Our
impressive world heritage site according to UNESCO has gone through few changes
last year, which included new entry times and new rules for optimal care, all
in order to standardize the volume of visits to the citadel and thus preserve
its legacy in a sustainable way over time.
Thanks to these foresights our historic sanctuary is not currently on the list of UNESCO world heritage sites in danger and currently benefits from the standardization of tourist arrivals to the citadel between the morning and afternoon. If you plan to visit it during the following months - the rainy season in the Andes and the Peruvian Amazon - you will be captivated by its green landscapes.
Visiting Machu Picchu
is a dream come true of many national and foreign visitors. Therefore, it is
essential that responsible and sustainable tourism is applied in our most
emblematic and important destination.
Machu Picchu has been
a star in the lists of best places to visit and must-see destinations in the
world in recent years. It has also been considered one of the most frequent
places that have appeared on Instagram in 2017 thanks to the users of this
network who are impressed with the magnitude and beauty of our historic
sanctuary, a feeling that can’t be described with images or words, you have to
live it.
We encourage tourists
to see our majestic wonder and other impressive destinations that Peru has to
offer with the warm kindness that Peruvians embodies.

DISCURSO
Señor Presidente del Congreso,
representantes, amigos de todas las naciones, pueblo del Perú. Queridos
hermanos peruanos:
Me dirijo a Ustedes en este difícil
momento que atraviesa el país para transmitirles mi más absoluto compromiso y
lealtad para con nuestro amado Perú y con su Constitución. Quiero transmitirles
la esperanza y la fe en que juntas podemos construir un futuro mejor.
La Herencia
Estamos llegando al bicentenario de
nuestra patria en una situación de inestabilidad y zozobra institucional que
ningún peruano podría desear.
Llegó el momento de decir Basta. Los
graves acontecimientos que se han conocido en los últimos tiempos ameritan que
se esclarezcan responsabilidades y que cualquier tipo de irregularidad cometida
sea penada como corresponde. La justicia deberá actuar con independencia,
responsabilidad y celeridad.
Pero al mismo tiempo, lo que ha sucedido
debe marcar el punto final de una política de odio y confrontación, que no ha
hecho otra cosa que perjudicar al país. La clase política, y sobre todo quienes
detentamos cargos públicos, tenemos la obligación de dar respuestas a las
muchas necesidades, demandas y aspiraciones de cada uno de los peruanos, y no
enredarnos en peleas encarnizadas que terminan hacienda un enorme daño al Perú.
Este punto final, es el punto de partida
de una nueva etapa, de refundación institucional del país, en la que la
democracia y el respeto por el prójimo sean banderas, dejando de lado los
intereses y apetitos personales y priorizando el bienestar de todos.
Objetivos
Debemos señalar objetivos claros para el
Perú, y todos, sin distinción alguna, debemos aportar y apoyar ese deseo,
uniéndonos, con la firme promesa de solucionar los problemas que se presenten y
dejar de lado las diferencias políticas.
En unos días, cuando esté constituido el
Nuevo Gabinete (que será completamente nuevo), el o la Presidente del Consejo
de Ministros, dará el detalle de las políticas de Estado que emprenderemos. Yo
hoy compartiré con Ustedes los lineamientos generales con los que se conducirá
este gobierno.
Primero, pondremos nuestro mayor esfuerzo
en La lucha contra la Corrupción. Seremos muy firmes en el combate
contra todas aquellas acciones que estén reñidas con la ley, vengan de donde
vengan y cueste lo que cueste. No va a temblarnos la mano para llevar adelante
las medidas necesarias para sacar al Perú de la situación actual. La
transparencia será un pilar fundamental de nuestro mandato y estamos
comprometidos a desmontar y denunciar todo esquema corrupto que funcione en
cualquier área del Estado.
Segundo, lograr la Estabilidad
Institucional, como base para poder enfrentar de manera eficiente los
grandes desafíos y necesidades que tiene nuestro país.
La división de poderes es la base
de cualquier democracia, y es fundamental que ningún poder avasalle los
derechos del otro. Los invoco a que sea el respeto, la tolerancia y el amor a
la patria, los que marquen la dinámica de esta nueva etapa.
Reconstruir la Gobernabilidad, recuperar
la confianza de los peruanos, ¡en un marco de respeto de la Constitución
Nacional y de nuestras leyes es nuestro desafío!
Tengo la fuerza y la determinación para
emprender el reto. También tengo claro que ESTE GRAN DESAFÍO DEBEMOS ASUMIRLO
TODOS JUNTOS. ¡TODOS LOS PERUANOS! Los partidos y líderes políticos, los grupos
de empresarios y gremios y, sobre todo, cada uno de los ciudadanos de esta,
nuestra querida tierra, debemos trabajar unidos, respetando nuestras
diferencias y siempre priorizando al país. CONCIUDADANOS, ESTÁ EN JUEGO EL FUTURO DEL PERÚ, Y QUIENES
GOBERNAMOS EL PAÍS DEBEMOS ESTAR A LA ALTURA DE LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS.
Tercero, nuestro horizonte es el de un
país estable, con crecimiento ordenado y equitativo, y debemos avanzar rápido
en este camino. Nuestro proyecto en lo económico es conducir al Perú por
la senda de la credibilidad y estabilidad. Por eso vamos a mantener lo que se
ha hecho bien, modificar todo aquello que puede mejorarse, y emprender aquello
que no se ha realizado hasta ahora.
Sabemos que para crecer, nuestro país debe
ser cada vez más competitivo, y generar empleo de calidad para todos los
peruanos sin distingo de edades y género. Por eso fomentaremos la inversión
privada, la iniciativa de los emprendedores y apoyaremos a nuestras pequeñas y
medianas empresas.
La Construcción de Infraestructura
sostenible también será
un pilar de nuestra gestión. Hay mucho por hacer en nuestro país, con el fin de
hacerlo más competitivo económicamente, y más justo en su distribución
regional, en Costa, Sierra y Selva. Más aún cuando tenemos una reconstrucción
pendiente, y es urgente emprenderla y cumplir con cada uno de los damnificados.
Cuarto, tenemos claro que el desarrollo
del Perú no es otra cosa que la mejora de la calidad de vida de cada uno de los
peruanos, para que tengamos un futuro mejor como nación, y que nuestros hijos
puedan desarrollarse y tener oportunidades. La Salud, la generación de
empleo y la seguridad ciudadana, serán centrales en nuestro trabajo. Y tal
como lo hicimos en su momento en Moquegua, la Educación será pilar
central de nuestra gestión.
Quiero hablarle también de manera especial
a nuestros jóvenes. Quiero decirles que hemos enfrentado problemas aún más
grandes que los que afrontamos hoy. No pierdan la fe en sus instituciones. PERMÍTANNOS
DEMOSTRARLES QUE EL PERÚ ES MÁS GRANDE QUE SUS PROBLEMAS.
Cierre
Somos un país con futuro, pero ese futuro
dependerá de nuestro comportamiento.
Los peruanos tenemos la responsabilidad de
dar vuelta a la página, este debe ser el momento histórico en el que ponemos al
Perú Primero, en el que superamos los enfrentamientos y comenzamos a construir
el país justo y pujante que nos merecemos.
Estoy dispuesto a asumir la
responsabilidad que marca nuestra Constitución Nacional. Tengo claro lo que hay
que hacer, y cómo hacerlo. Tengo la firmeza, la apertura al diálogo y la
determinación para conducir al país por el camino correcto.
Propongo ante ustedes, señores
Congresistas y ante todos los peruanos de cualquier ideología política y credo,
un pacto social que nos comprometa, a fin de luchar sin distingo alguno contra
la corrupción e impulsar el desarrollo equitativo, democrático e integrador.
Por mi parte, juro ante Dios que me dedicaré plenamente a trabajar en favor de
todos los peruanos, en especial de los más necesitados. ¡El Perú Primero!
Nuestro héroe Miguel Grau, en una de sus
frases más importantes, dijo "Yo no soy más que un pobre marino que trata
de servir a su patria" Ese es el espíritu de humildad y entrega que el
país requiere de nosotros, personas de bien, con fuerza y dedicación, poniendo
nuestro trabajo a disposición del país, con honestidad, sin mezquindades y sin
guardarnos nada. ¡El Perú Primero!
La educación no puede esperar, la salud no
puede esperar, las regiones de nuestro país no pueden esperar, y sobre todo,
cada uno de los 32 millones de peruanos no puede esperar. Porque no debemos
olvidar que nuestra mayor meta es que nuestros hijos, y los hijos de nuestros
hijos vivan en un país mejor. ¡El Perú está Primero!
Queridos peruanos, tengo la certeza de que
podemos transformar este difícil momento en el nacimiento de una nueva etapa
política, donde lo primero, sea el Perú. Quiero transmitirles la enorme fe, el
compromiso y el entusiasmo con el que desarrollaremos esta gran tarea.
POR ESO LOS INVITO A QUE INICIEMOS ESTE
CAMINO POR LA GRANDEZA DE NUESTRA PATRIA. LOS INVITO A TRABAJAR UNIDOS, PARA
SALIR DE ESTA CRISIS Y CONSTRUIR JUNTOS EL FUTURO QUE SOÑAMOS.
¡DESDE HOY MISMO, TODOS TRABAJANDO POR EL
BIEN DEL PERU! ¡NO HAY TIEMPO QUE PERDER!
UN ABRAZO FUERTE PARA TODOS, DIOS BENDIGA
NUESTRO PAÍS Y VIVA EL PERÚ.

DECLARATION
3rd Gathering of the Open Parliament
Network:
Open States for Democratic Governance
against Corruption
Lima, Peru | April 11-12, 2018
We, parliamentarians representing 25 countries in the Americas and the
Caribbean, gathered in Lima, Peru on April 11-12, 2018, for the 3rd
Gathering of the ParlAmericas Open Parliament Network, held on the occasion
of the VIII Summit of the Americas.
During this gathering, we discussed democratic governance against
corruption and the important role that legislatures play in confronting this
issue. The working sessions and dialogues allowed for the exchange of valuable
experiences and knowledge related to initiatives currently being adopted by our
parliaments that are inspired by the open parliament pillars and seek to fight
corruption in all branches of public office. We also discussed the importance
of encouraging initiatives that promote ethics and probity in the exercise of
parliamentary functions; the development of mechanisms aimed at empowering
women as central actors in governance strengthening and the fight against
corruption; and the definition of guidelines for drafting open parliament
action plans, which are being co-created with civil society.
In view of the above and,
Recognizing:
That corruption is one of the greatest challenges of
our time, given that it negatively impacts the economic and social development
of our countries; deepens social inequalities and limits access to services and
public goods; erodes citizen confidence in the political system and
delegitimizes democratic institutions; and, moreover, can hinder the
achievement of the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development;
That women, indigenous peoples and traditionally
marginalized groups are affected by corruption in greater proportion and/or in
different ways, and that their ability to denounce corrupt practices can be
limited by power dynamics and other social factors;
That international agreements like the United Nations
Convention against Corruption, the Inter-American Convention against
Corruption, and the Mechanism for Follow-Up on the Implementation of the
Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) recognize the
international scope of corruption and are intended to promote and facilitate
cooperation between States in the fight this phenomenon;
That the legislative branch plays a vital role in the
fight against corruption through the exercise of its powers of representation,
legislation, and political oversight of actions by the public administration;
as well as in the adoption and development of regulatory frameworks related to
treaties and international conventions that address this fight;
That, in open States, the executive, legislative, and
judicial branches jointly undertake cross-cutting efforts to strengthen
governance in support of anti-corruption measures, through more transparent
institutions that are accountable and involve citizens, collaboration with
civil society, and alignment with the principles promoted by the Open
Government Partnership;
That parliaments have the responsibility to lead by
example in anti-corruption initiatives, promoting actions in support of
legislative openness, facilitating interaction between citizens and the
legislature, and guaranteeing access to public information, accountability, and
high standards for ethics and probity in parliamentary work, as well as the
participation of women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, in order to
ensure their points of view are considered within legislative initiatives
seeking to counteract corruption and the social inequalities that it can
exacerbate;
That open parliament action plans co-created by
parliaments and civil society are a useful mechanism for advancing initiatives
that promote the principles of legislative openness and contribute to
empowering citizens to hold their leaders and representatives accountable, and,
through this, confront corruption;
That advances in information and communications
technology have transformed the way in which citizens interact with and relate
to public institutions, and that the use of these technologies is indispensable
for modernizing and improving the efficacy and transparency of parliamentary
processes to exchange information with citizens and facilitate their
participation in parliamentary work;
That diplomacy and cooperation between parliaments and
between legislators on matters related to the prevention, investigation, and
prosecution of acts of corruption can consolidate the political support
necessary to extend this cooperation to the level of national governments; and
that the exchange of best legislative practices can contribute to the adoption
of more effective national laws;
We commit to:
1. Adopting legislation, regulatory frameworks, and practices that can
be effectively applied and that promote transparency, accountability, citizen
participation, and the highest ethical standards in the governance of our
institutions.
2. Promoting multi-party collaboration to adopt legislative initiatives
that contribute to the prevention of and fight against corruption, including,
but not limited to, the protection of whistleblowers, witnesses, and
individuals involved in investigating acts and cases of corruption; and the
financing and expenses of political organizations and parties.
3. Promoting a gender and intercultural perspective in all legislative
reforms or measures against corruption, taking into account that this disproportionately
affects women, and that it is therefore necessary to consider the impacts and
effects that all legislative initiatives that address this problem could have
on this population group; and through this contributing to the achievement of
the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
4. Facilitating cooperation between States in the fight against
corruption through the implementation of existing international conventions and
mechanisms, such as the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the
Inter-American Convention against Corruption, and the Mechanism for Follow-Up
on the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption
(MESICIC).
5. Strengthening inter-institutional relations in order to establish
comprehensive legislative responses that curb corruption, promoting the
principles and values of the Open Government Partnership, and taking action
directed at advancing the open government agenda from the parliament.
6. Encouraging public integrity through strengthened parliamentary
codes of conduct, the regulation of conflicts of interest, and the development
of mechanisms aimed at preventing inequalities, discrimination based on gender
or ethnicity, and harassment in parliament.
7. Encouraging the creation and implementation of national open
government action plans, including open parliament action plans and other
mechanisms developed in collaboration with civil society; and exercising our
oversight role over the fulfillment of the commitments made in these plans.
8. Fostering transparency, responsibility, and openness to citizens in
our parliaments, utilizing information and communications technologies to
facilitate and strengthen interaction with the public, and the exercise of its
oversight functions.
9. Pursuing the adoption of priority measures agreed upon by our States
in the final declaration of the VIII Summit of the Americas, assisting in the
fulfillment of these commitments by our respective governments.

La integración regional genera beneficios concretos para la población y nos abre el camino para expandir el comercio y las inversiones e insertarnos de esa forma a las cadenas de producción globales.
Dentro de esa perspectiva, la Alianza del Pacífico es el proceso de integración más dinámico en América Latina. Hoy cumple siete años de existencia. El 28 de abril del 2011 se reunieron en Lima los presidentes de Chile, Colombia, México y el Perú para crearla sobre la base de las visiones comunes en cuanto a dos pilares fundamentales. El primero es el respeto a la democracia y el Estado de derecho. El segundo, la promoción de la economía de mercado y el libre comercio.
La Alianza del Pacífico fue una propuesta de nuestro país cuyo objetivo principal es impulsar el bienestar de la ciudadanía mediante la estrecha cooperación del sector privado con los gobiernos de los países miembros para crear un área de integración real, con libre circulación de bienes, servicios, capitales y personas.
Esta alianza ha facilitado el incremento del intercambio comercial entre sus miembros, pero aún resta la tarea de aumentarlo en proporciones más significativas. En cambio, la integración bursátil, con la creación del Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano (MILA), es más bien un logro inédito en el resto de la región. Además de ello, la Alianza del Pacífico ha conseguido la exoneración de visas de negocios y turismo y ha implementado una plataforma de movilidad estudiantil y académica que ya ha otorgado más de 1.800 becas de pregrado, posgrado y docencia. La meta específica es que el proceso de integración ofrezca mayores oportunidades efectivas de progreso para sus ciudadanos
La proyección internacional de la Alianza del Pacífico se expresa por la relación con más de medio centenar de estados observadores y bloques regionales. Algunos de ellos son la Unión Europea, el Foro de Cooperación Económica Asia-Pacífico (APEC), Mercosur y la Asociación de Naciones del Sudeste Asiático (ASEAN).
Hoy, la alianza se encuentra inmersa en negociaciones con Australia, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda y Singapur para alcanzar acuerdos de comercio e inversión de altos estándares, con miras a que sean estados asociados de la Alianza del Pacífico. La cooperación con los 52 estados observadores provee oportunidades para impulsar la facilitación comercial, la educación, el desarrollo de las pequeñas y medianas empresas, y la investigación en ciencia, tecnología e innovación.
La Alianza del Pacífico, en suma, se ha convertido en una herramienta imprescindible para contribuir al desarrollo de nuestros países. El Perú asumirá en julio próximo su presidencia anual. El compromiso del Gobierno Peruano será concentrar los esfuerzos del proceso de integración en la mejora del nivel de vida de nuestros ciudadanos mediante la expansión de sus beneficios concretos.

Bangkok, July 10, 2018
The Peruvian musical group "APU INKA" is already
in Bangkok on the occasion of the celebrations for our National Day. This
morning, the group participated in a workshop with Thai musicians at the
College of Music of Mahidol University, one of the most prestigious in this
region. For more than two hours, the four members of "APU INKA"
interacted and exchanged knowledge about the execution of the most traditional
musical instruments of our country such as quena, zampoña, charango and
Peruvian cajón.
They also had the opportunity to do a practical class with
the music students of the Mahidol University, where they taught how to perform
the zampoña, after that they gave, on behalf of Peru, three varieties of this
instrument for the collection of said college. This important workshop fulfills
our objective of promoting direct contacts between our citizens ("people
to people") through a very rich musical cultural exchange. Also, the
aforementioned Peruvian musical group had the opportunity to promote the
different rhythms that are part of the cultural knowledge of our country in a
concert that brought together more than 150 attendees, including students from
the aforementioned school and the general public.
Es
particularmente grato dirigirme a mis compatriotas que residen en el exterior, en
ocasión de celebrarse un aniversario más de nuestra independencia nacional.
Esta
fecha no sólo constituye una oportunidad propicia para recordar a nuestros héroes
y todos quienes han forjado nuestra identidad nacional, sino también para
felicitar a todos los peruanos quienes trabajan, con tesón, para engrandecer a
nuestro país.
Soy
consciente de los sacrificios de quienes han tenido que dejar el Perú y
afrontar los desafíos de construir un futuro en el extranjero. Por eso el
gobierno asume, con responsabilidad y solidaridad, el compromiso de atender las
necesidades de la numerosa comunidad de más de tres millones de compatriotas
que reside en el exterior. Estamos ejecutando acciones concretas para mejorar
los mecanismos de protección, ayuda y asistencia legal y humanitaria de nuestras
oficinas consulares. Se han adquirido nuevos locales consulares y se ha puesto
en marcha el programa de modernización de la gestión consular. Estamos
empeñados en mejorar la calidad de los servicios que ofrecemos a los peruanos
en el exterior.
Cabe
destacar que se continúan otorgando los beneficios de la ley para la
reinserción económica y social de los migrantes que retornan al Perú. A la
fecha más de cinco mil compatriotas se han beneficiado de esa norma. Asimismo,
hemos reforzado el compromiso de atender a los connacionales en situación de
vulnerabilidad, mediante el programa de asistencia humanitaria
También
estamos implementando la política nacional migratoria, bajo la rectoría de la cancillería.
A través de ella el estado peruano viene articulando todas las acciones de la
administración pública vinculadas con el migrante peruano, tanto para quienes desean
migrar, como los que se encuentran en el exterior y aquellos que desean
retornar al Perú.
Al
conmemorarse un aniversario más de nuestra independencia nacional, les hago
llegar mi más sincero reconocimiento por sus extraordinarios esfuerzos para
consolidar su bienestar, promoviendo los valores y las tradiciones de nuestro
país y fortaleciendo así la imagen de la peruanidad en el mundo.
¡Felices
Fiestas Patrias!
¡Viva
el Perú!
Muchas gracias.
Saludo
a los miembros de la comunidad peruana residente en el extranjero con motivo de
la conmemoración del aniversario de nuestra independencia nacional. Los
felicito por mantener vivos sus lazos con el Perú y participar con entusiasmo
en la celebración de las fiestas patrias.
Esta
es una ocasión propicia para recordar que, aún a la distancia, nos une una
cultura común, ciertamente rica y variada, y una historia milenaria. Nuestra
identidad nacional la llevamos con nosotros mismos donde sea que nos
encontremos, y en esta fecha revitalizamos los lazos que nos unen.
La
cancillería del Perú tiene el deber de servir de puente para mantener estrechos
los vínculos entre nuestra comunidad migrante y el resto del país. Por eso
reafirmo el compromiso institucional del ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de
defender los intereses y atender las necesidades de nuestros compatriotas que
residen en el extranjero. Continuamos modernizando nuestros locales y
procedimientos consulares para mejorar la atención a la comunidad migrante
peruana. Nuestra meta es contar con los sistemas más eficientes disponibles
para facilitar las gestiones consulares de nuestros compatriotas.
Valoramos
el generoso aporte de la comunidad migrante peruana al desarrollo nacional
mediante el apoyo que brindan a sus familiares en el Perú. También soy testigo de
los esfuerzos de los migrantes peruanos para insertarse a las sociedades
extranjeras que los acogen. Es reconocida su contribución económica y cultural
en los países en los cuales residen y ella es un motivo de orgullo nacional.
Espero
que la celebración de este aniversario nacional permita que disfruten con sus
familiares y amigos el placer de compartir las expresiones culturales,
culinarias y musicales que nos unen como ciudadanos peruanos.
¡Viva
el Perú!
Muchas gracias.
Within the framework of the celebrations of our 197th
National Anniversary, today the photographic exhibition "Machu
Picchu" was inaugurated at Siam Paragon, one of the most important of the
city of Bangkok, which will remain open until the July 29. The inauguration was
attended by representatives of the Thai Tourism Authority and senior officials
of the Boon Rawd Brewery Company, the company of soft drinks and beer with
greater commercial presence in Thailand, and the business group Siam Piwat,
owner of the most important shopping centers of Thailand, both co-sponsors of
our photo exhibition.
The space destined for this exhibition covers an area of
450 square meters and has more than 350 photographs of the Machu Picchu
Sanctuary, composed of some of the collection published on the occasion of the
centenary of its international unveiling, in 2011, and other more modern ones
provided by PROMPERÚ.
Also, the occasion was propitious so that the musical group
"APU INKA" could execute some Peruvian songs for a greater diffusion
and promotion of our culture in the frame of this event. Likewise, the company
Boon Rawd Brewery has also exhibited audiovisual material (photographs and videos)
from Lima and Cusco, obtained during its "Machu Picchu Ultimate Peru"
campaign, which allowed a Thai delegation of 33 people to travel to our country
from 1 to July 13, including a visit to the Palace of Torre Tagle and other
tourist attractions of Lima and Cusco. The trip culminated with a visit to the
citadel of Machu Picchu, the main objective of the aforementioned campaign.
In view of the connotation and importance that this
event has acquired, the aviation company KLM has donated to the Embassy an air
ticket Bangkok / Lima / Bangkok, which will be drawn among those attending the
photo exhibition.
On the occasion of the commemoration of Peruvian 197th
anniversary, the Embassy of Peru in Thailand held a concert of Peruvian folk
music performed by the group "APU INKA" at the Bangkok Art and
Culture Centre. The occasion was favorable to gather the Diplomatic Corps
accredited in Thailand, as well as high officials and Thai authorities and
members of the Peruvian community resident in Thailand, who enjoyed a cultural
evening where the best of our cultural and artistic manifestations was
highlighted.
In the opening session, the Ambassador of Peru addressed the
welcoming to our guests, after that the APU INKA group began their presentation
with many themes of Peruvian folklore. As a surprise for the audience, the
group was attended by three Thai musicians invited from the College of Music of
Mahidol University, who performed the Thai songs Kang Kao Gin Gluay (Bat
Eats Banana), Near Dawn and the Peruvian song Balseros del
Titicaca.
This important event allowed us to promote the best
of our Peruvian culture, not only through music, but also with a space for the
photo exhibition of the collection "PIRUW" by Peruvian photographers
Musuk Nolte and Leslie Searles. In that occasion the reception was supported by
the Peruvian restaurant Above Eleven, whose Peruvian chef Omar Frank delighted
the attendees with the most exquisite appetizers of our gastronomy and Pisco
Sour.
On July 28, 2018, the
Peruvian community resident in Thailand gathered to celebrate the 197th
Anniversary of National Independence. The meeting was held by the Embassy of
Peru at Siam Paragon in Bangkok, in the space where the photo exhibition
"Machu Picchu" has been taking place. Peruvians and friends from Peru
enjoyed live Peruvian folk music performed by the APU INKA group, tasted
Peruvian snacks and sweets as well as the famous "chicha morada". The
dances of the three regions of Peru were not lacking.
HOY CONMEMORAMOS EL DIA DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES
EXTERIORES Y EL DIA DEL DIPLOMATICO. ES, POR LO TANTO, UNA OCASIÓN DE
CELEBRACION PERO TAMBIEN DE REFLEXION SOBRE QUIENES SOMOS. EMPIEZO ENTONCES POR
FELICITARNOS EN NUESTRO DIA Y POR AGRADECER SU PRESENCIA EN ESTA CEREMONIA.
EN UNOS MINUTOS NUESTRO CANCILLER DARA SU MENSAJE Y
A MI ME TOCA DIRIGIRME A USTEDES COMO JEFE DEL SERVICIO DIPLOMATICO DE LA
REPUBLICA, AUNQUE, ANTES, EN MI CALIDAD DE VICECANCILLER, QUIERO DEJAR EXPRESA
CONSTANCIA DE MI COMPROMISO PERSONAL E INSTITUCIONAL DE COOPERAR PARA LOGRAR
LAS METAS QUE NOS HEMOS FIJADO PARA NUESTRA POLITICA EXTERIOR. QUIERO TAMBIEN RESALTAR
LA UNIDAD DE CRITERIO QUE TENEMOS CON EL CANCILLER Y LA CONVICCION DE QUE EL
TRABAJO EN EQUIPO ES LA VIA PARA EL LOGRO DE LOS OBJETIVOS INSTITUCIONALES.
PERMITANME AHORA COMPARTIR UNAS BREVES REFLEXIONES, INSPIRADAS
POR MI EXPERIENCIA DE MAS DE 40 AÑOS EN ESTA CASA.
EN ESTE TIEMPO HE SIDO TESTIGO DE MUY DIFERENTES
CIRCUNSTANCIAS EN NUESTRA VIDA INSTITUCIONAL. HA HABIDO EPOCAS BUENAS Y MALAS, ETAPAS
DIFICILES. MOMENTOS DE UNION Y DESUNION. MOMENTOS DE TRIUNFOS Y FRACASOS PERO,
EN TODAS ESAS CIRCUNTANCIAS, A VECES LATENTES, A VECES EVIDENTES, LOS VALORES
INSTITUCIONALES HAN ESTADO SIEMPRE PRESENTES, AYUDANDONOS A SORTEAR LOS
MOMENTOS DIFICILES E INSPIRANDONOS PARA APROVECHAR LOS MOMENTOS POSITIVOS.
CREO QUE NADIE DUDA DE QUE, EN ESTOS MOMENTOS,
NUESTRO PAIS ENFRENTA UNA COYUNTURA DECISIVA, UNA COYUNTURA EN LA CUAL TENEMOS
UNA OPORTUNIDAD DE RECURRIR A LO MEJOR QUE TENEMOS LOS PERUANOS PARA SUPERARLA.
Y ES PRECISAMENTE EN MOMENTOS ASI QUE EL SERVICIO
DIPLOMATICO PERUANO, Y LOS TRABAJADORES DE NUESTRA CANCILLERIA, DEBEN BRINDAR
SU APORTE PARA SALIR ADELANTE. Y PARA HACERLO TENEMOS QUE DAR EL EJEMPLO DE UNA
CONDUCTA INTACHABLE, APOYADOS EN NUESTRA VOCACION DE SERVICIO AL PAIS Y
RECORDANDO EN FORMA PERMANENTE NUESTROS DEBERES.
CON PLENO RESPETO A LA CONSTITUCION Y A LAS LEYES,
CON INDECLINABLE LEALTAD A LA NACION, CON FIRME CONVICCION DEMOCRATICA, CON
ESFUERZO EFICIENTE Y SOSTENIDO PARA CONTRIBUIR AL LOGRO DE LOS OBJETIVOS DE
POLITICA EXTERIOR, PODEMOS DAR UN APORTE PARA SUPERAR EL MOMENTO CRITICO QUE
ATRAVESAMOS.
LAS INSTITUCIONES, QUE NO SON OTRA COSA QUE
CONJUNTOS DE PERSONAS UNIDAS POR VALORES Y NORMAS COMUNES DEMUESTRAN, CON
CLARIDAD, SUS FORTALEZAS Y DEBILIDADES EN SITUACIONES DEMANDANTES, COMO LA
ACTUAL. HOY EL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES Y EL SERVICIO DIPLOMÁTICO
CUENTAN CON PRESTIGIO Y GOZAN DE UNA IMAGEN DE SOLIDEZ INSTITUCIONAL Y DE
LIDERAZGO, ESPECIALMENTE EN LA REGION.
SIN EMBARGO, EN LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS ACTUALES, ES UN
HECHO COMPROBADO QUE LA INDIGNACIÓN Y DESCONFIANZA PÚBLICAS AFECTAN LA IMAGEN
DEL CONJUNTO DEL APARATO ESTATAL. POR ESO TODAS LAS INSTITUCIONES DEL ESTADO
TIENEN QUE REAFIRMAR SUS FORTALEZAS Y SUPERAR SUS DEBILIDADES, CON MIRAS A RECUPERAR
LA CONFIANZA DE LOS CIUDADANOS.
POR ELLO ES PRECISO REFORZAR LOS PRINCIPALES PILARES
INSTITUCIONALES. LA CANCILLERÍA CUENTA CON UN ACERVO INSTITUCIONAL ACUMULADO A
TRAVÉS DE SU HISTORIA. SU NÚCLEO RESIDE EN NUESTROS VALORES DE HONRADEZ,
LEALTAD, VOCACIÓN DE SERVICIO E IDENTIDAD CON LOS INTERESES NACIONALES. ESO ES
LO QUE DEBEMOS REFORZAR. POR ELLO DEBEMOS SER INFLEXIBLES PARA DEFENDERLOS Y APLICAR
UNA POLÍTICA DE TOLERANCIA CERO FRENTE A LOS ACTOS DE CORRUPCIÓN, ABUSO U
HOSTIGAMIENTO, QUE SON INACEPTABLES, Y QUE ADEMAS DAÑAN LA IMAGEN DEL SERVICIO
DIPLOMÁTICO.
ES POR ESO QUE LOS EXHORTO, EN LA DIFICIL CIRCUNSTANCIA NACIONAL, A UNIRNOS
PARA PRESERVAR LA IMAGEN Y EL PRESTIGIO DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES
Y DEL SERVICIO DIPLOMÁTICO MEDIANTE EL RESPETO IRRESTRICTO DE LOS VALORES
INSTITUCIONALES Y DE NUESTRAS NORMAS DE CONDUCTA.
EN
PRIMER LUGAR, AGRADEZCO LA ASISTENCIA DEL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA A
ESTA CEREMONIA INSTITUCIONAL. SU PRESENCIA ES UN HONOR PARA TODOS NOSOTROS Y
NOS ALIENTA A CONTINUAR ESFORZÁNDONOS PARA CONTRIBUIR A LA CONSECUCIÓN DE LOS
OBJETIVOS NACIONALES DEL GOBIERNO PERUANO.
VALORO
EN ESPECIAL EL RESPALDO QUE SU PRESENCIA SIGNIFICA PARA UNA INSTITUCIÓN LIGADA
A LA HISTORIA DEL PERÚ DESDE LA FUNDACIÓN DE LA REPÚBLICA. REAFIRMAMOS ANTE
USTED, SEÑOR PRESIDENTE, NUESTRO PERMANENTE COMPROMISO DE CUMPLIR EL DEBER DE
DEFENDER Y PROMOVER LOS INTERESES NACIONALES, EN BENEFICIO DE TODOS NUESTROS
CONCIUDADANOS.
SALUDO A TODOS LOS FUNCIONARIOS
DIPLOMÁTICOS, ADMINISTRATIVOS Y CONTRATADOS QUE TRABAJAN EN LA CANCILLERÍA, EN
EL PERÚ Y EL EXTRANJERO, ASÍ COMO A LOS COLEGAS QUE AHORA SE ENCUENTRAN EN
SITUACIÓN DE RETIRO, HOY QUE CONMEMORAMOS EL 197 ANIVERSARIO DEL MINISTERIO DE
RELACIONES EXTERIORES Y CELEBRAMOS TAMBIÉN EL DÍA DEL DIPLOMÁTICO. ESPERO QUE
DISFRUTEN DE ESTE DÍA DE CONMEMORACIÓN Y CONFRATERNIDAD INSTITUCIONAL.
REMEMORAR LA CREACIÓN DEL MINISTERIO
DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES ES UNA OCASIÓN OPORTUNA PARA EVALUAR NUESTRO PAPEL EN
LA TAREA DE FORTALECER LA GOBERNABILIDAD DEMOCRÁTICA Y LA INSTITUCIONALIDAD
NACIONAL. LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS ACTUALES NOS OBLIGAN A ABORDAR ESTE TEMA, SIN
MINIMIZAR LOS DESAFÍOS QUE IMPLICA.
EN ESE SENTIDO, QUISIERA
RECORDAR LO QUE MENCIONÉ HACE UN AÑO EN ESTA CEREMONIA QUE ES CADA VEZ MÁS
VIGENTE. HACE MÁS DE VEINTE AÑOS, SE PLANTEABA LA RELATIVIZACIÓN DE LA
DIPLOMACIA COMO EL EJERCICIO PROFESIONAL DE LA POLÍTICA EXTERIOR DE LOS
ESTADOS. HOY EN DÍA, EN UN CONTEXTO INTERNACIONAL CAMBIANTE, CONVULSIONADO E
INCIERTO, LA REVALORACIÓN DE LA DIPLOMACIA NO SÓLO HA SIGNIFICADO EL FIN DE LAS
VOCES QUE PROCLAMABAN SU DESAPARICIÓN, SINO QUE SE HA CONSTITUIDO EN UN
CONCEPTO EN EXPANSIÓN, TRANSVERSAL Y MULTIFACÉTICO. ELLO PRESENTA UN RETO NO
SOLO PARA LA FORMACIÓN Y CAPACITACIÓN DE CALIDAD DE LOS NUEVOS DIPLOMÁTICOS EN
LA ACADEMIA DIPLOMÁTICA, SINO TAMBIÉN PARA TODOS LOS INTEGRANTES DEL SERVICIO DIPLOMÁTICO,
QUE ESTAMOS LLAMADOS A DAR NUESTRO MEJOR ESFUERZO, SIEMPRE BUSCANDO LA
EXCELENCIA, CON VISIÓN MODERNA Y CON LA CLARA ORIENTACIÓN DE CONTRIBUIR AL
DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE Y CADA VEZ MÁS INCLUSIVO DE NUESTRO PAÍS.
EN CONSECUENCIA, EN LA ACTUAL
COYUNTURA ES NECESARIO PRIORIZAR LA REFORMA Y MODERNIZACIÓN DEL ESTADO PARA
RECOBRAR LA CONFIANZA DE LA CIUDADANÍA EN LA ADMINISTRACIÓN PÚBLICA Y PROMOVER
EL CRECIMIENTO EQUITATIVO, LA MEJORA DE LA CALIDAD DE VIDA, LA ESTABILIDAD
INSTITUCIONAL, LA LUCHA CONTRA LA CORRUPCIÓN Y LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN.
EL PERÚ REQUIERE ENTIDADES PÚBLICAS
SÓLIDAS Y RESPETADAS. LA SOLIDEZ DE TODA INSTITUCIÓN RADICA EN LA FIRMEZA DE
SUS VALORES Y NORMAS. EN CONSECUENCIA, TENEMOS QUE ASEGURARNOS DE IMPEDIR SU
DEBILITAMIENTO. POR ESO REAFIRMO EL COMPROMISO INSTITUCIONAL DE MANTENER UNA
POLÍTICA DE TOLERANCIA CERO FRENTE A ACTOS DE CORRUPCIÓN, ABUSOS DE AUTORIDAD O
CUALQUIER OTRA CONDUCTA QUE MENOSCABEN NUESTROS VALORES O CONTRAVENGAN LAS
NORMAS DEL MINISTERIO. ESTA ES LA ÚNICA MANERA DE PRESERVAR LA IMAGEN DEL MINISTERIO,
LA CONFIANZA PÚBLICA Y LA SEGURIDAD DE PERTENECER A UNA INSTITUCIÓN SÓLIDA,
ESTABLE Y RESPETABLE.
LA CANCILLERÍA ADQUIRIÓ UNA SERIE DE
RESPONSABILIDADES DESDE QUE EL PRESIDENTE MARTÍN VIZCARRA ASUMIÓ LA CONDUCCIÓN
DEL GOBIERNO. LA PRIMERA DE ELLAS FUE LLEVAR A CABO CON ÉXITO LA CUMBRE DE LAS AMÉRICAS
CELEBRADA EN LIMA EN ABRIL PASADO, QUE EXPRESÓ EL SÓLIDO RESPALDO REGIONAL A LA
SOLUCIÓN CONSTITUCIONAL DE LA CRISIS POLÍTICA QUE NUESTRO PAÍS SUPERÓ EN MARZO
PASADO CON EL APOYO PLENO DE LA CIUDADANÍA Y LAS AGRUPACIONES POLÍTICAS.
EN ESA OCASIÓN QUEDÓ EN EVIDENCIA LA
CAPACIDAD ORGANIZATIVA DEL MINISTERIO Y LA EFICACIA DE SU GESTIÓN. LA
APROBACIÓN DEL “COMPROMISO DE LIMA”, CON MÁS DE MEDIO CENTENAR DE ACCIONES
ANTICORRUPCIÓN, FUE UN LOGRO QUE MERECE SER DESTACADO. AHORA ESTAMOS EMPEÑADOS
EN HACER EL SEGUIMIENTO DE SU IMPLEMENTACIÓN A TRAVÉS DE TODA LA REGIÓN.
EL PERÚ TAMBIÉN PARTICIPA ACTIVAMENTE
EN LA DEFENSA Y PROMOCIÓN DE LA DEMOCRACIA Y LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LA REGIÓN
MEDIANTE EL GRUPO DE LIMA Y LA OEA. GRACIAS A LA EFECTIVIDAD LOGRADA POR EL GRUPO
DE LIMA PARA ENCARAR CONJUNTAMENTE LA PROFUNDA CRISIS POLÍTICA, ECONÓMICA Y
HUMANITARIA DE VENEZUELA, HEMOS INTENSIFICADO LA PRESIÓN INTERNACIONAL EN
RESPALDO A LOS ESFUERZOS DEL PUEBLO VENEZOLANO EN SU LUCHA PARA RECUPERAR LA
DEMOCRACIA.
IGUALMENTE, EL PERÚ RENUEVA SU
SOLIDARIDAD CON EL PUEBLO DE NICARAGUA Y HA URGIDO AL GOBIERNO NICARAGÜENSE A
GARANTIZAR EL CESE DE LOS ACTOS DE VIOLENCIA, EL RESTABLECIMIENTO DE LA PAZ Y
LA REANUDACIÓN DEL DIÁLOGO QUE PERMITA UNA SOLUCIÓN A LA CRISIS POLÍTICA Y
SOCIAL Y LA CELEBRACIÓN DE ELECCIONES LIBRES, JUSTAS Y OPORTUNAS. AYER EL CONSEJO PERMANENTE DE LA OEA APROBÓ
UNA NUEVA RESOLUCIÓN SOBRE NICARAGUA PRESENTADA POR PERÚ Y OTROS NUEVE PAÍSES,
EN LA QUE SE ESTABLECE UN GRUPO DE SEGUIMIENTO DE LA SITUACIÓN EN ESE PAÍS.
COMO USTEDES SABEN, TAMBIÉN NUESTRO
PAÍS HA ASUMIDO LAS PRESIDENCIAS DE LA ALIANZA DEL PACÍFICO Y DE LA COMUNIDAD ANDINA
HASTA MEDIADOS DEL PRÓXIMO AÑO. MIENTRAS TANTO, EL PERÚ CONTINUARÁ SIENDO
MIEMBRO DEL CONSEJO DE SEGURIDAD DE LAS NACIONES UNIDAS HASTA FINES DEL AÑO
2019.
EN MAYO DE ESTE AÑO RECIBIMOS LAS
IMPORTANTES VISITAS OFICIALES DEL CANCILLER DEL REINO UNIDO, DESPUÉS DE 52 AÑOS
DE LA ÚLTIMA VISITA DE ESE NIVEL AL PERÚ, Y DE LA MINISTRA DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES
DE INDONESIA, LA PRIMERA EN 42 AÑOS DE NUESTRAS RELACIONES BILATERALES. DE OTRO
LADO, EN JULIO PASADO PARTICIPÉ EN BRUSELAS EN EL ENCUENTRO DE CANCILLERES ALC-UE
Y ESTE MES TENDRÉ EL HONOR DE RECIBIR EN LIMA A MI HOMÓLOGO JAPONÉS, ASÍ COMO
DE EFECTUAR UNA VISITA OFICIAL A CHINA. DICHAS ACTIVIDADES RESPONDEN AL
OBJETIVO ESTRATÉGICO DE ESTRECHAR MÁS LOS LAZOS CON EUROPA Y LA REGIÓN ASIA PACÍFICO.
ESTE SEMESTRE TAMBIÉN LLEVAREMOS A
CABO REUNIONES DE GABINETE BINACIONAL CON BOLIVIA, ECUADOR Y CHILE, LUEGO DEL
REALIZADO CON COLOMBIA A INICIOS DE ESTE AÑO. CABE SEÑALAR QUE EL ENCUENTRO PRESIDENCIAL
Y GABINETE MINISTERIAL CON ECUADOR COINCIDIRÁ CON LA CONMEMORACIÓN DEL VIGÉSIMO
ANIVERSARIO DE LA FIRMA DE LOS ACUERDOS DE PAZ DE BRASILIA, TRASCENDENTAL LOGRO
DE POLÍTICA EXTERIOR PARA AMBOS PAÍSES.
ASIMISMO, EN SEPTIEMBRE ACOMPAÑARÉ
AL PRESIDENTE MARTÍN VIZCARRA A LA ASAMBLEA GENERAL DE LAS NACIONES UNIDAS Y,
EN NOVIEMBRE, A LA CUMBRE DE LÍDERES DE APEC. EN AMBAS OCASIONES EL MANDATARIO
PERUANO SOSTENDRÁ ENCUENTROS BILATERALES CON JEFES DE ESTADO Y ALTAS
AUTORIDADES DE OTROS PAÍSES PARTICIPANTES.
POR OTRA PARTE, EN EL MARCO DE UNA
POLÍTICA DE ESTADO, CONTINUAREMOS REALIZANDO GESTIONES PARA SER INVITADOS A
INGRESAR A LA OCDE.
MENCIONO ESTAS INICIATIVAS PORQUE
CONFÍO QUE AL EJECUTARLAS CONFIRMAMOS LA EFICACIA DE LA LABOR DE LA CANCILLERÍA
Y LA DINÁMICA DE NUESTRA POLÍTICA EXTERIOR EN UN MUNDO INCIERTO, EN EL QUE
DEBEMOS REFORZAR EL MULTILATERALISMO Y EL LIBRE COMERCIO. CONSIDERO QUE
DEMOSTRAR LA EFECTIVIDAD DE LA GESTIÓN DEL MINISTERIO ES UNA CONTRIBUCIÓN
SIGNIFICATIVA PARA ROBUSTECER LA CONFIANZA PÚBLICA EN LA CAPACIDAD DE LAS
ENTIDADES ESTATALES Y APOYAR DE MANERA DECIDIDA EL PROCESO DE REFORMAS POLÍTICAS
Y DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DE JUSTICIA, LIDERADO POR EL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA. EN ESTE CONTEXTO, QUIERO EXPRESAR UN ESPECIAL
Y MERECIDO RECONOCIMIENTO A UN PRESTIGIOSO MIEMBRO DEL SERVICIO DIPLOMÁTICO DE
LA REPÚBLICA, EL EMBAJADOR ALLAN WAGNER TIZÓN, QUIEN PRESIDIÓ LA COMISIÓN CONSULTIVA
PARA LA REFORMA DEL SISTEMA DE JUSTICIA Y PRESENTÓ PROPUESTAS CON MIRAS A
LOGRAR UN SISTEMA DE JUSTICIA HONESTO Y EFICIENTE. PIDO UN GRAN APLAUSO PARA ÉL
Y LA DOCTORA ANA TERESA REVILLA, DIRECTORA DE ASUNTOS LEGALES DE NUESTRO MINISTERIO,
QUIEN TAMBIÉN FORMÓ PARTE DE ESTA COMISIÓN.
ESTAMOS A TRES AÑOS DE CELEBRAR EL BICENTENARIO
DE LA INDEPENDENCIA NACIONAL. CREO QUE LA MANERA MÁS VALIOSA DE CONMEMORAR ESE
ANIVERSARIO ES ASEGURAR QUE CONTINUEMOS CONTRIBUYENDO AL REAFIANZAMIENTO Y LA
ESTABILIDAD DE LAS INSTITUCIONES DEMOCRÁTICAS DEL PERÚ.
LA CANCILLERÍA TIENE UN PAPEL CLAVE
EN LA CONSECUCIÓN DE ESE OBJETIVO GUBERNAMENTAL Y NACIONAL. EL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES
EXTERIORES ES UNA INSTITUCIÓN FUNDACIONAL DE LA REPÚBLICA QUE ESTÁ ENTRELAZADA
A SU HISTORIA. AHORA TIENE, POR TANTO, LA RESPONSABILIDAD DE CUMPLIR LA TAREA
DE PROMOVER LA INSTITUCIONALIZACIÓN, TANTO A TRAVÉS DE SU GESTIÓN EXTERNA COMO
MEDIANTE EL EJEMPLO.
ESTOY SEGURO QUE SABREMOS ESTAR A LA
ALTURA DE LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS Y QUE ENCARAREMOS, CON CONVICCIÓN, EL ACTUAL
DESAFÍO NACIONAL DE RECOMPONER LA FORTALEZA DE LA INSTITUCIONALIDAD PARA
IMPULSAR EL DESARROLLO POLÍTICO, ECONÓMICO Y SOCIAL DEL PERÚ.
DESEO
AGRADECER LA VALIOSA COLABORACIÓN DE TODOS LOS TRABAJADORES DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES
EXTERIORES Y ENFATIZAR QUE GRACIAS AL ABNEGADO ESFUERZO, EL TRABAJO EN EQUIPO Y
LA VOCACIÓN DE SERVICIOS DE CADA UNO DE USTEDES PODEMOS EJECUTAR UNA POLÍTICA
EXTERIOR DINÁMICA Y COHERENTE CON LOS INTERESES NACIONALES.
MUCHAS GRACIAS.
ESTOY AQUÍ, COMO BIEN LO HAN DICHO EL VICEMINISTRO Y EL CANCILLER, PARA
RATIFICAR LA CONFIANZA, EL APRECIO Y EL AGRADECIMIENTO A TODO EL MINISTERIO. ME
REFIERO A TODOS LOS TRABAJADORES POR EL GRAN TRABAJO QUE HACEN EN SERVICIO DE
NUESTRO PAÍS. HE TENIDO LA OPORTUNIDAD DE VERIFICARLO CUANDO EN MI CONDICIÓN DE
MINISTRO DE TRANSPORTES Y COMUNICACIONES TUVE QUE VIAJAR MUY LEJOS. ESTUVE EN
COREA, CHINA Y JAPÓN, Y SIEMPRE FUI MUY BIEN RECIBIDO POR EMBAJADORES,
FUNCIONARIOS Y TRABAJADORES DE LAS EMBAJADAS, QUE ORGANIZABAN NUESTRO VIAJE Y NUESTRA
PARTICIPACIÓN CON UN NIVEL DE DETALLE QUE DEMOSTRABAN UN GRAN PROFESIONALISMO
INSTITUCIONAL.
MÁS ADELANTE, TAMBIÉN TUVE LA OPORTUNIDAD DE EXPERIMENTAR UNA ETAPA MUY
IMPORTANTE EN MI VIDA PROFESIONAL, CUANDO TUVE EL ENCARGO DEL GOBIERNO DE SER
EMBAJADOR DEL PERÚ EN CANADÁ. A PESAR DEL CORTO TIEMPO, DE IGUAL MANERA, PUDE
DESEMPEÑAR SATISFACTORIAMENTE LAS RESPONSABILIDADES DEL CARGO, PORQUE ERA PARTE
DE UN EQUIPO QUE SABÍA PERFECTAMENTE LO QUE TENÍA QUE HACER. ENTONCES, FUE
FÁCIL PODER ENCAJAR Y DESENVOLVERME EN FUNCIÓN DE LAS RESPONSABILIDADES Y
OBJETIVOS QUE TENEMOS COMO PAÍS Y COMO SUS REPRESENTANTES EN LOS DIFERENTES
PAÍSES DEL MUNDO.
AHORA, DESDE HACE CUATRO MESES, EN MI CONDICIÓN DE PRESIDENTE DE LA
REPÚBLICA, COORDINAMOS ESTRECHAMENTE CON EL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES
EXTERIORES, UNA AGENDA QUE, COMO LO HA PODIDO DETALLAR EN EL DISCURSO EL
CANCILLER, HA SIDO MUY NUTRIDA DESDE EL PRIMER DÍA DE TRABAJO Y DESEMPEÑADA
SATISFACTORIAMENTE, QUEDANDO MUY BIEN EL NOMBRE DE NUESTRO PAÍS Y MOSTRANDO
HACIA EL MUNDO UNA IMAGEN DE UN PAÍS SERIO Y RESPONSABLE.
EN CONSECUENCIA, CÓMO NO FELICITARLOS HOY EN SU DÍA Y PEDIRLES QUE SIGAN
TRABAJANDO DE ESTA FORMA. SEGURAMENTE, COMO TODA INSTITUCIÓN, SIEMPRE HAY ALGO
QUE MEJORAR, POR ESO ES NECESARIO SIEMPRE UNA EVALUACIÓN PROPIA, CRÍTICA,
RECONOCIENDO LO BIEN QUE ESTÁN HACIENDO SU TRABAJO, PERO SIEMPRE TAMBIÉN ANALIZANDO
LAS POSIBILIDADES DE MEJORA.
ESO ME LLEVA A PODER CONTARLES UNA PEQUEÑA ANÉCDOTA CUANDO ESTABA
REVISANDO MI DISCURSO DE 28 DE JULIO, QUE USTEDES, SEGURAMENTE, LO HAN SEGUIDO.
REVISABA LA PRIMERA PARTE DEL DISCURSO, PRECISAMENTE DONDE SE TOCA EL TEMA DE
LOS PROBLEMAS EN NUESTRO SISTEMA DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DE JUSTICIA Y DE LA
SITUACIÓN POLÍTICA, Y DONDE PLANTEABA MEDIDAS A TODOS LOS PERUANOS A TRAVÉS DEL
CONGRESO DE LA REPÚBLICA, QUE ESTABAN FUNDAMENTADAS BÁSICAMENTE EN QUE HABÍA
UNA GRAN FALTA DE INSTITUCIONALIDAD, Y QUE ESO TENÍA QUE CORREGIRSE
FORTALECIENDO LAS INSTITUCIONES. ESA PRIMERA PARTE DEL DISCURSO HABLABA
ESPECÍFICAMENTE DE FALTA DE INSTITUCIONALIDAD. SEGUÍ PASANDO ALGUNAS HOJAS Y
LLEGUÉ A LA PARTE CORRESPONDIENTE A POLÍTICA EXTERIOR, EN DONDE HABLÉ
PRECISAMENTE DEL DESEMPEÑO QUE HABÍA TENIDO NUESTRO PAÍS, POR EJEMPLO, EN LA
CUMBRE DE LAS AMÉRICAS, SOBRE UNA GRAN INSTITUCIONALIDAD DEL PAÍS. ENTONCES, ME
DIJE: MIENTRAS POR UN LADO ESTAMOS TOMANDO MEDIDAS POR FALTA DE
INSTITUCIONALIDAD, POR EL OTRO TENEMOS RECONOCIMIENTO DE ACCIONES EXITOSAS POR
INSTITUCIONALIDAD. ESE ES NUESTRO PAÍS, ESAS SON LAS CONTRADICCIONES DE NUESTRO
PAÍS, DONDE, EN FUNCIÓN DE LA PERSPECTIVA DE ANÁLISIS QUE TENGAMOS, PODEMOS
TENER CONCLUSIONES DIFERENTES.
ESE ES EL RETO: NIVELARNOS COMO PAÍS HACIA ARRIBA. AQUÍ EN NUESTRO PAÍS
HAY MUY BUENOS EJEMPLOS DE COSAS QUE SE HACEN BIEN, EN TODOS LOS CAMPOS, PERO
HAY COSAS TAMBIÉN QUE NO SE ESTÁN HACIENDO BIEN. ENTONCES, EL ESFUERZO CÓMO NOS
NIVELAMOS HACIA ARRIBA. PARA ELLO CREO QUE TENEMOS UN BUEN EJEMPLO EN EL
MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES, EN EL TRABAJO QUE VIENE HACIENDO, EN SU
PROFESIONALISMO, EN SU INSTITUCIONALIDAD, PARA TOMARLO COMO UNA REFERENCIA Y
QUE OTRAS INSTITUCIONES PUEDAN SEGUIR EL MISMO CAMINO.
CREO QUE NUESTRO PAÍS TIENE ENORMES POSIBILIDADES DE PROGRESAR, DE
CAMINAR HACIA EL DESARROLLO, PORQUE TIENE GENTE MUY VALIOSA, MUCHAS DE LAS
CUALES ESTÁN AQUÍ PRESENTES. PERO HAY MUCHA MÁS GENTE, EN DIFERENTES SECTORES Y
ACTIVIDADES, QUE A VECES NO HA TENIDO LA OPORTUNIDAD DE DESEMPEÑARSE EN TODA SU
CAPACIDAD, PORQUE EN ESE SECTOR NO EXISTE LA INSTITUCIONALIDAD QUE HAY, POR
EJEMPLO, EN NUESTRO MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES.
POR ESO ES QUE HE QUERIDO ESTAR PRESENTE HOY, EN SU DÍA, PARA
EXPRESARLES LA FELICITACIÓN Y EL AGRADECIMIENTO PARA QUE SIGAN TRABAJANDO CON
EL MISMO ESFUERZO Y COMPROMISO, PORQUE, DEFINITIVAMENTE, EL RETO ES GRANDE Y
NECESITAMOS A TODOS LOS PERUANOS DE BUENA VOLUNTAD PARA QUE SE SUMEN A ESTE
ESFUERZO DE LOGRAR EL PROGRESO Y EL DESARROLLO DE NUESTRO PAÍS.
MUCHAS GRACIAS.
El lunes 30 de julio de 2018, tuvo lugar, en el Centro de Convenciones del Colegio Médico del Perú, en la ciudad de Lima, la ceremonia de inauguración del Encuentro Científico Internacional 2018 de Invierno (ECI-2018), realizada en homenaje a los 50 años del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica del Perú (CONCYTEC). El evento concluyó el miercoles 1 de agosto.
Dicho evento busca promover y dar a conocer en el Perú el trabajo de peruanos científicos en el extranjero, constituyendo un certamen de gran importancia para la formación de una cultura científica nacional, y habiéndose convertido en la mayor reunión de científicos peruanos y amigos del Perú.
Los informes de cada edición pueden ser descargados desde la siguiente dirección electrónica: www.encuentrocientificointernacional.org, donde también se encuentra detallado el programa de la presente edición.
On August 8, 2018, the Embassy of Peru in Thailand delivered
the award granted by KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES, consisting of a
Bangkok-Lima-Bangkok air ticket, to Miss Thiamchan Sangkhaphanthanon, who was
the winner of the contest held by this Embassy in the framework of the photo
exhibition "Machu Picchu", from July 26 to 29, 2018, at Siam Paragon.
The award was presented at the Embassy by Mr. Athitkrit SAKSATAPORNDE, Account
Manager of KLM in Bangkok.
The contest gave the opportunity to all the visitors of the
photographic reference to become creditors of the air ticket, for which they
had to register through the social networks that attached a photo to the place
of the exhibition and a text indicated why they wanted to visit Peru.
In the first instance, twenty (20) of the total writers were
randomly selected and then the staff of this Embassy selected the best reason
as the winner of the air ticket, in this case, to Miss Sangkhaphanthanon, who
is a Spanish teacher at Triamudomsuksa High School. It should be noted that her
trip to our country not only provides the opportunity to learn about our
culture and attractions, but also allows the students to know from her, about
Peru.
The Embassy congratulated the winner and offered
her the widest support to have a successful trip. The Embassy also thanked KLM
for its generous sponsorship and raised the desirability of continuing to work
together to promote the tourist flow between Peru and Thailand.

Mensaje a la
Nación Cuestión de Confianza
Buenas noches,
Quiero dirigirme
hoy a todos Ustedes para informarles sobre la actual situación que atraviesa
nuestro país, y sobre las decisiones que, como Presidente Constitucional de la
República he tomado.
Al asumir la
presidencia, el 23 de marzo de este año, tomé una serie de compromisos ante
todo el Perú, que quedaron plasmados en mi primer Mensaje a la Nación. En ese
momento establecí los ejes que llevaríamos adelante como política de Estado, y
dejé en claro que los dos primeros ejes planteados son: la lucha frontal contra
la corrupción y el fortalecimiento institucional.
El Perú, para
crecer, necesita de instituciones sanas y transparentes, y tenemos la
responsabilidad de avanzar en ese camino para construir un país mejor. Los
compromisos asumidos siguen en pié, y ya hemos planteado una serie de medidas
específicas para combatir la corrupción y para reformar las Instituciones.
En el mes de
junio se conocieron una serie de audios que dejaron al descubierto el enorme
entramado de corrupción que aqueja a nuestro poder judicial y que afecta
gravemente a nuestras Instituciones. Ante la gravedad de la situación,
conformamos de manera inmediata una Comisión de Reforma del Sistema de
Administración de Justicia, y presentamos una serie de proyectos el 28 de Julio
ante el Congreso. Pocos días después, y como claro gesto de la importancia que
nuestro gobierno le da al tema, me dirigí personalmente al Congreso junto con
el Premier, para entregar cuatro proyectos para la urgente reforma política y
judicial, que requieren de una reforma constitucional para poder avanzar. En
ese momento recibí de parte del presidente del Congreso, el compromiso de
darles prioridad en su tratamiento, a fin de poder someter los mismos a un
referéndum para que todos los peruanos puedan decidir, si quieren la Reforma
del Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura, la Bicameralidad, la No reelección de
Congresistas y un sistema transparente de financiamiento de los partidos
políticos. Estos no son proyectos del Presidente de la República, sino que
responden a claras demandas de la ciudadanía, que en una enorme mayoría quiere
expresarse, participar y decidir. Son los ciudadanos quienes definirán si
quieren esos proyectos mediante el voto, y debemos realizar ese referéndum,
junto con las elecciones del 8 de diciembre. No podemos olvidar que somos
representantes de los peruanos, y que tenemos la obligación de dar respuestas.
Todos Ustedes
están siendo testigos de los esfuerzos que desde el Ejecutivo se vienen
realizando para impulsar la reforma judicial y política que permitiría menguar
la actual crisis por la que venimos atravesando y hacerle frente a la
corrupción.
Por eso muchos
colectivos, organizaciones, y la ciudadanía han reafirmado de diversas maneras
su apoyo y compromiso para contribuir desde sus espacios con estas reformas.
En cada región,
ciudad o pueblo que visito, han sido Ustedes quienes me han mostrado su
respaldo y me han señalado, que esto no puede seguir así.
La ciudadanía se
organizó y en estas semanas hemos visto como personas, colectivos y
organizaciones, se han presentado frente a la Oficina Nacional de Procesos
Electorales (ONPE) para adquirir kits electorales con la intención de apoyar la
reforma constitucional, y muchas otras han mostrado disposición para recoger
las firmas; esto no es más que una muestra de que nuestro país pide a gritos la
reforma, porque esta representa el inicio de un proceso de cambio necesario
para el país, en la lucha contra la corrupción.
A ellos y a
ustedes les digo que no retrocederé ni un solo paso y sacaré adelante estas
reformas tan necesarias para el país.
Quiero
recordarles que el 14 de setiembre del 2000, los peruanos fuimos testigos de la
revelación del primer “Vladivideo”. Una verdad que salió a la luz pero que más
allá de herir nuestra dignidad de ciudadanos, fue un punto de inflexión para la
caída de un régimen que generaba y ocultaba estos niveles de corrupción.
Han pasado ya 18
años desde que el país fue consciente de la grave crisis institucional; Sin
embargo, hoy me pregunto, ¿qué hemos aprendido? Si ayer fue un vladivideo, hoy
son los audios que nos regresan a ese momento y nos muestran lo más vulgar de
la corrupción, enquistada en nuestras instituciones. Con mucha preocupación e
indignación, volvemos a ser testigos de una situación similar, los audios
revelados nos muestran una vez más los graves hechos de corrupción que
corrompen a las instituciones que imparten justicia en nuestro país.
Quiero decirle a
todos los peruanos y peruanas, que no soy ajeno a su indignación que la hago
propia y la comparto. Recojo el clamor popular, ¡REFORMA YA!, basta de
comprar y vender derechos y dejar impune los delitos de los que trasgreden
nuestro sistema legal y enferman a nuestra sociedad.
Hace casi 40 días
entregamos al Congreso de la República las cuatro propuestas de reforma
constitucional, con expectativa de trabajar y luchar juntos contra este mal
endémico.
Sin embargo, en
este periodo el Congreso, solo elaboró un cronograma, sin ponerse en los
zapatos de los peruanos dignos y se negó a entender la urgencia de un cambio, ¡REFORMA
YA!. Desde que presentamos los proyectos de ley, ni siquiera han
cumplido el primer punto de ese cronograma comprometido. De los 4
proyectos planteados, ni uno sólo tiene Dictamen de una comisión, ¡Ni uno sólo
de ellos en 40 días! Por el contrario, hemos visto congresistas
tratando de dilatar y desnaturalizar los proyectos, con absurdas modificaciones
que de aprobarse los transformarían en proyectos inútiles y perjudiciales para
el país. Los peruanos no podemos permitir que los titulares de la ONPE y el Reniec sean elegidos por el Congreso,
porque sería dar lugar a que un partido político pueda controlar a quien debe
fiscalizar las elecciones democráticas. Así mismo, es inaceptable que se
proponga impedir a los nuevos titulares del Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura
investigar los actos de corrupción cometidos con anterioridad. Eso
equivale a garantizar la impunidad, y constituye una burla a la voluntad
ciudadana de transparencia y lucha contra la corrupción.
Como ya lo
mencioné, uno de los ejes de política de este gobierno es la lucha frontal
contra la corrupción, lucha que hemos emprendido con responsabilidad y como
prioridad, es por ello que haciendo uso de las facultades conferidas en la
constitución tomaremos las decisiones necesarias para recuperar a nuestro país
del flagelo de la corrupción.
En ese sentido, respetuoso
de la Constitución Política del Perú, que juré respetar y hacer respetar; acudo
a ella, poniendo como testigos a todos los peruanos e invoco la aplicación de
su artículo 133 “Planteamos la cuestión de confianza al Congreso de la
República”, para aprobar las cuatro reformas constitucionales presentadas al
Congreso; para ello, mediante Decreto Supremo N° 097-2018- PCM, convoco a
legislatura extraordinaria al Congreso de la República de acuerdo al inciso 6)
del artículo 118 de la Constitución,
para el día miércoles 19 de Septiembre a las 8:00 de la mañana.
Dicho Decreto Supremo será publicado el día de mañana en el Diario Oficial El
Peruano.
Las tan
necesarias Reforma Política y Reforma del sistema de Justicia son Cuestión de
Estado, y como tales prioritarias para el poder Ejecutivo.
Exhorto, a
los congresistas de la república a sumarse a esta lucha frontal contra la
corrupción y a adoptar las medidas que la Constitución les permite, aceptando
la cuestión de confianza planteada y aprobando las 4 reformas constitucionales
propuestas, a fin de ser sometidas a referéndum el día 8 de diciembre.
Esperamos no
repetir la historia sucedida hace un año, cuando este Congreso de la República
negó la confianza al gabinete del Primer Ministro Zavala.
Queridos
peruanos, quiero decirles que sabíamos desde un comienzo que el camino de la
lucha contra la corrupción no era fácil, que encontraríamos piedras en el
camino. Sin embargo, nuestro gobierno
sigue avanzando a paso firme, atendiendo las muchas y urgentes
necesidades que tiene nuestro país. Todos los días concluimos obras, iniciamos
otras nuevas, y en menos de 6 meses ya
hemos recorrido todas las regiones del Perú, escuchando a los ciudadanos
y acercando soluciones. Sabemos que falta mucho por hacer y estamos
trabajando duro por el país.
También, quiero
que sepan que estamos convencidos de que este esfuerzo que estamos haciendo,
responde a lo que necesita el Perú y que, si todos los peruanos de bien nos
ponemos de acuerdo y trabajamos juntos, vamos a construir el país que
merecemos.
Por
eso, los invito a todos Ustedes,
peruanos y peruanas, a seguir unidos en
la lucha contra la corrupción, a no bajar los brazos y a comprometerse con el
cambio que el país necesita. ¡No nos van a doblegar! Estoy convencido de que
juntos, vamos a construir el Perú que queremos para nuestros hijos. ¡Reforma
Ya!
Muchas Gracias
Four Embassies of the member countries of the Pacific
Alliance, together with the Embassies of Spain and the Philippines, held on 8th
and 9th October in Bangkok, a commemorative event of "Manila Galleon
Day". This activity was supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Thailand, the Regional Office of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Bangkok, and Thammasat University, where this
event took place.
The Ambassador of Peru, the country that holds the Pro Tempore
Presidence of the Pacific Alliance, offered the welcoming words highlighting
the great historical importance of the 250 years (1565-1815) in which galleons,
under Spanish administration, transported goods, people and culture between the
Asian continent (Manila) and the Pacific coasts of America (Acapulco). Among
other products, the Manila Galleon took Peruvian and Mexican silver demanded
strongly by China for the stability of its economy, as well as species, plants
and products that took root in Asia. On the reverse route, there were many
products from all over Asia, some of them luxury, which were then distributed
throughout the different territories of the Americas.
The Peruvian historian
Margarita Suárez participated, through a video, with a presentation about the
participation of Peru in the route of the Manila Galleon. Experts from Chile,
Colombia, Spain, the United States, the Philippines, Mexico and Thailand also
participated.

"PIRUW" was opened to the public in the prestigious gallery
"House of Lucie" in Bangkok, composed of thirty-three black and white
photographs made by the Peruvian artists Leslie Searles and Musuk Nolte.
At the opening of the exhibition, the Ambassador of Peru
reviewed the history of the aforementioned artists and noted that, for more
than a year, both photographers traveled from south to north and from east to
west almost all of Peru visiting numerous towns in the mountains and native
communities of the jungle, especially those in which they celebrated
traditional festivities. The result, he pointed out, is an extraordinary work
that unveils a mysterious and wonderful Peru. The world-renowned photographer
Hossein Farmani, owner and founder of House of Lucie Gallery,
expressed his special satisfaction to receive, for the first time, a sample of
Peruvian photographer’s art and noted his admiration for the work of Searles
and Nolte.
The inauguration was attended by around 100 people,
including representatives of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, members of the

On Wednesday November 21, the Embassies and
Trade Advisors of the four countries of the Pacific Alliance (PA) held in
Bangkok an Investment and Business Promotion Seminar with the participation of
around 100 businessmen and representatives of Thai Trade Unions.
At the opening ceremony of the "Seminar on
Trade and Investment Opportunities with the Pacific Alliance", the
Ambassador of Peru, on behalf of the four countries, the Vice President of the
Chamber of Commerce of Thailand and a representative of the consulting firm
Ernst & Young Thailand, addressed opening remarks. In the second part of
the event, the four commercial advisors presented various aspects of the PA

and Thai Oil Company PTTEP) shared reflections on their respective experiences
in doing business and investing in PA countries and in Thailand.
The Ambassador of Peru highlighted the multiple
business and investment opportunities that exist between the PA and the ASEAN

Minister of Foreign Affairs; members of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in
Peru; Secretary General; former
Ministers, former Vice Ministers and former General Secretaries; General
Directors; dear colleagues; dear family, my wife Susana, my children Jaime and
Andrea; Ladies and Gentlemen, and all friend. I thank, in the first place, the
very generous comments of my dear colleagues and friends Nestor and Hugo, and I
am especially honored and deeply grateful for the confidence that the President
of the republic and you, Minister of Foreign Affairs have placed in me by
designating me as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. It will be a privilege to work with
a Chancellor of the professional solidity and experience of Ambassador Néstor
Popolizio.
In particular, I would like to express my
appreciation for the important work carried out by Ambassador Hugo de Zela as
Deputy Minister and throughout his career, whose special personal qualities and
professional abilities make him one of the most valuable diplomats in Torre
Tagle. It is a real
honor and a particular challenge to succeed a Vice minister of such a
prestigious career.
I am aware of the dimensions of my new
responsibilities and challenges, but I take this important task with the
naturalness with which I have wanted to carry all acts in my life.
Before you, I express my full commitment to the
objectives destined to promote and protect the interests of Peru abroad, always
in compliance with the guidelines issued by the President of the Republic and
led by the Chancellor.
In this regard, allow me to make some general
remark referring to the work of the Ministry at the external level, which we
will continue to support; as the Minister of Foreign affairs has mentioned,
this is a team effort in which we all participate.
In the first place, it is important to continue
working to consolidate our relationship with neighboring countries, which
demand our prioritary attention, expanding our bilateral link and intensifying
the security and development of border areas.
In addition to strengthening the links with our
traditional partners in America and Europe, it is important to continue
expanding our relationship with the Asia Pacific region and increase our
presence in Central America and the Caribbean, using the granting of technical
cooperation as a foreign policy instrument.
We will also seek to have a greater presence in
Africa and the Middle East, in order to take advantage of the opportunities
offered by these countries in commercial, economic and financial terms.
You know that a large part of my career has
been spent in the economic area. I believe that
this experience can contribute to clearly strengthen our relationship with
countries and organizations, in which the economic component is predominant. The continuous participation in
regional integration processes that will hold their respective summits in the
months of May and July, is important to this effect.
Furthermore, Peru will hold the presidency of
the Security Council of the United Nations next July, which will help us to
play an instrumental role in dealing with matters of international peace and
security.
In addition, Peru will continue to actively
participate in the Organization of the American States and the different
international organizations of which Peru is part, with the purpose of
promoting and defending the permanent and conjunctural interests of our foreign
policy.
In the same way, we will continue working in
coordination with the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of
Economy and Finance and the Congress of the Republic, as well as other national
sectors, to accelerate the process of accession of Peru to the Organization for
the Cooperation and Economic Development (OECD).
Without neglecting this constant diplomatic
work in our external projection, we do not remain indifferent to situations
such as the serious crisis that Venezuela suffers today, provoked exclusively
by the illegitimate and dictatorial regime of Nicolás Maduro, which has caused
the collapse of the country and generated the mass exodus of its population,
with severe humanitarian, social and economic repercussions for Peru and the
region. The Peruvian
Foreign Ministry, as you know, has take a leading role through the Lima Group
to achieve a return to democracy in Venezuela, a commitment that today, I must
clearly.
I want to complete these remark, with on issue
of greatest importance, which is to assure our migrant communities that we will
continue to make every effort to improve every day the support and services
provided to the millions of Peruvians who live abroad.
Internally, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
in this Ministry, my work will be guided by openness and inclusion, focusing on
equal opportunities, non-discrimination,
respecting individual and collective rights, fostering an environment free of
abuse and harassment and maintaining a position of zero tolerance against acts
of corruption.
In a very special way, with deep conviction, I
will support with determination and enthusiasm effort in gender issues because all the
women of this ministry deserve to have uphold their rights, feel visible and
receive the fair and differentiated treatment necessary for their full work
development, and thus overcome the limitations that machismo has historically
and culturally imposed on them.
Although there have been advances in these
policies, there is a long way to go in the field of implementation and, above
all, assimilation by society. I would like
to mention, as the Chancellor also pointed out, the process of modernization of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which I will continue to promote, based on the
principles that have allowed us to forge the international prestige that we
enjoy, and rescuing those traditions that are still valid. This process should also include the
incorporation of the most modern technological and management tools, which
equip the Foreign Ministry and the Missions abroad and the Decentralized
Offices with the necessary capacity to face future challenges,
Our efficiency and productivity should not rest
on individual capacities, but on predictable and structured public management
processes.
Be assured that, working as a team with the
Chancellor and the Secretary General, we will try to consolidate a Ministry
that offers its personnel a good working environment, in which meritocracy,
efficiency and quality of life are privileged.
That is why I invoke the Diplomatic Service and
the administrative, contracted and service personnel, who are part of this
great family that is Torre Tagle, to work together in solidarity and cohesion.
I am aware that, beyond my desire to improve
our institution, I will not be able to achieve it if I do not count on the
contributions and the committed collaboration of all of you, especially the
younger generations.
Finally, in my capacity as Head of the
Diplomatic Service of the Republic, I would like to say to my colleagues of all
categories that we should always be aware of the important role we play in the
continued construction of our country and feel the pride of belonging to an
institution. who works to
contribute to the greatness of the country and the welfare of its people. I also want to tell my colleagues
that they have my full support to address their concerns and also their needs,
but at the same time that they have the security that I will require of you
authenticity, commitment, loyalty and a lot of work.
I end these brief words reiterating my firm
will to serve the country and close and loyal collaboration with the Foreign
Minister to achieve the foreign policy objectives and the strengthening of the
Ministry and the Diplomatic Service of Peru.
Thank you.

The Peruvian government, through the Ministry of Foreign
Trade and Tourism (Mincetur), presented the national strategy “Safe Tourism” which
attempts to ensure a good travel experience and a safe stay for tourists
visiting Peru.
“The ‘Safe Tourism’ strategy
seeks to combat informality and insecurity in the Tourism sector. These
problems can only be solved at the multisectoral level, through an articulated
work between all sectors of the government, which will be promoted by the
President of the Republic, Martín Vizcarra” said
the head of the Mincetur, Edgar Vásquez.
He explained that "Safe Tourism"
has three components: Security,
Formalization and Strengthening. These will be applied gradually in the 25 regions of the
country and will be aimed at consolidating the strategy at the national level
with a view to the Bicentennial anniversary of Peru’s Independence.
Minister Vásquez said that this strategy also includes
interventions articulated in terms of security, formalization and improvement
of competitiveness in the provision of tourism services, strengthening the
management of regional and local governments. Moreover,
he added that the tourist will be informed about dealing with formal tourism
services as a key factor to have a satisfying travel experience.
“We want tourists
to feel safe in Peru and their travel experience focused on the wonders they
met in our country. This will have a great positive impact on the
competitiveness of Peru as a tourist destination. It is
a great challenge that the public and private sector undertake in an
articulated way”, he said.
This initiative seeks to reduce the percentage of informal
companies in the tourism sector in order to meet the minimum standards necessary
to provide a quality service and to improve prevention control, action and
response to security problems in the sector.
COMPONENT INTERVENTIONS
Regarding security, the head of the Mincetur said that the
operational capacity of the Tourism Police, the General Director of Captaincy
and Coast Guard (DICAPI), the National Service of Protected Natural Areas (SERNANP) and
local governments will be increased. To this effect, a disbursement of more than S/ 20
million in total will be made for the acquisition of trucks, motorcycles, ATVs,
communication equipment, boats, etc.
“This investment
will reinforce the Tourism Police with approximately 75 trucks, 55 motorcycles,
10 ATVs and some more communication equipment. Meanwhile,
DICAPI will be equipped with eight boats and a checkpoint in Loreto and two
boats and equipment for control and surveillance in Madre de Dios”, he set as an
example.
He also commented that, through the “Safe Tourism” strategy, a High
Level Tourism Security Executive Committee will be established while the
Regional Tourism Protection Networks will be reactivated and strengthened.
In the medium term, at the level of formalization, Minister
Vásquez said that the sectorial regulatory framework will be updated, tourism
service providers will be trained and regional and local governments will be
supported to strengthen their oversight capacity.
“Support will also
be provided in the implementation of good management practices by regional
governments; the development of joint operations with other entities in each
region. Complaint processes will be facilitated for aggrieved
tourists and legal mechanisms will be implemented for the application of
effective sanctions at the level of regional and local governments”, he explained.
IMPORTANCE
The “Safe Tourism” strategy
is the result of an articulated work between the Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Tourism and the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Labor
and Employment Promotion, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of
Interior, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Production, Ministry of Health and
the Public Ministry. There is also participation by private sector associations

On behalf of the Peruvian State, I would like to extend to each of our compatriots and their families a warm and fraternal greeting on the commemorating occasion of October 18, the "Day of Peruvians residing abroad"
At the same time, I want to pass on our
deep recognition of their sacrifice and effort, which allows them to make their
way successfully in other latitudes, always taking very high the name of our
beloved Peru.
This commemoration also serves to reaffirm
the full commitment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue assisting
Peruvian communities around the world, providing quality consular services and
protection, with commitment and determined vocation of service, aware of the
important role played by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a means to connect
them with Peru.
In that context, in order to protect the
rights of our migrants abroad, on December 2018, our country signed the Global
Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which has generated principles
and understanding on international migration in all its dimensions.
On the other hand, to protect the interests
of our citizens and facilitate their insertion in the host countries, the
Foreign Ministry, with the support of its missions abroad, continues to promote
the signing of cooperation agreements in different areas of relevance for the well-being
of our compatriots residing abroad, such as social security, recognition of
studies, driver's licenses, among others. In that regard, we have been working
on the extension of the tax benefits granted by the current law for Peruvian migrants
who return to our country.
Once again, on the “Day of Peruvians
residing abroad” in 2019, the Peruvian State, through the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, will acknowledge those compatriots who have made an outstanding work
in favor of our fellow nationals abroad, promoting activities aimed at
strengthening Peruvian communities or strengthening their cultural links with
our rich Peruvian culture. The
corresponding certified diplomas will be handed over to those awarded nationals
through the respective Peruvian consular representation. In that respect, the
Foreign Ministry congratulates all Peruvians who have become role models to follow
and a motive of pride for the rest of their fellow citizens with the work and
solidarity they shown abroad.
I would like to conclude by expressing my
vows for the well-being of all of you and your families, reiterating my
gratitude to you because -despite the distance- you maintain an unwavering and
deep love for Peru.

About the virus:
1. It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400-500nm diameter), so any normal mask (not just the N95 feature) should be able to filter it out. However, when someone who's infected sneezes in front of you, it will take a great 3 meters (about 10 feet) before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
2. When the virus drops on metal surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember if you come in contact with any metal surface, wash your hands with soap thoroughly.
3. The virus can remain active on fabric for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the virus. For winter clothing that does not require daily washing, you can put it out under the sun to kill the virus.
About the symptoms of the pneumonia caused by Coronavirus:
1. It will first infect the throat, so the throat will have the dry sore throat feeling which will last for 3 to 4 days
2. Then the virus will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lungs, causing pneumonia. This process will take 5 to 6 days.
3. With pneumonia, comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You will feel like you are drowning in water. It's important to go seek immediate medical attention if you feel like this.
About prevention:
1. The most common way of getting infected is by touching things in public, so you must wash your hands frequently. The virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 mins, but a lot can happen in those 5-10 mins (you can rub your eyes or pick your nose unwittingly).
2. Aside from washing your hands frequently, you can gargle with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to eliminate or minimize the germs while they are still in your throat (before dripping down to your lungs).

Today, the first shipment of Peruvian Hass avocados arrived in Bangkok by sea, corresponding to the 2020 harvest season.
This important cargo of one of the most popular Peruvian "superfoods" arrived consigned to the company Vachamon Food Ltd., one of the most important wholesale fruit distributors in Thailand. On this occasion, 7 tons arrived, in addition to the 3 tons that were previously imported by the company by air.
The ambassador of Peru to Thailand was present at the company's facility in Rangsit, Pathum Thani, to receive, together with high-level executives of the company, this first large shipment that has arrived in time to meet the growing demand for the Peruvian product in the Thai market. On this occasion, the shipment consisted of 1,080 boxes of size 24 avocados, destined for hotels and restaurants, and size 30, smaller and preferred by local consumers.
Since last month, the Hass avocados started to arrive in Thailand by air, navigating the logistic difficulties and other issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The feat was possible thanks to the strong interest from wholesale importers and the Thai public, as well as to the work of various Peruvian entities, including the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA), which has audited 1,626 growers and 98 packing plants in Peru that meet the health requirements to export Hass avocados to Thailand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism.
2020 is the second year that Peru exports Hass avocados to Thailand in accordance with the phytosanitary protocol approved in May last year.

Con ocasión de conmemorarse el 199° Aniversario de nuestra Independencia Nacional, es muy grato transmitirles, en nombre del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, de todos sus trabajadores y del mío propio, nuestro más caluroso saludo a cada uno de ustedes, compatriotas, que viven en el extranjero.
También quisiera hacer extensivo este saludo fraternal a todos aquellos connacionales que se encuentran en el exterior, a la espera de su pronto retorno al Perú, debido a la emergencia sanitaria mundial.
Esta celebración es una ocasión sin igual, pues nos permite unirnos para recordar el ejemplo de los grandes hombres y mujeres que nos precedieron y que contribuyeron a forjar nuestra identidad nacional, pero sobre todo nos permite reflexionar sobre los logros y también los desafíos que aún tiene nuestro país para alcanzar un mayor desarrollo y que nos llenan de determinación para hacerles frente.
Nuestra comunidad, compuesta por peruanas y peruanos que por diferentes razones decidieron residir en otras latitudes, mantiene un vínculo estrecho con nuestra Patria, preservando siempre la riqueza de nuestra cultura y su amor por el Perú. Por eso, quiero expresarles mi reconocimiento y admiración por el esfuerzo y sacrificio que significa afrontar, día a día, los diversos retos que asumen para construir un futuro mejor para ustedes y los suyos en los diferentes países de acogida.
Para el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, apoyar a nuestra comunidad en el exterior y a todo peruano que se encuentre fuera del país, constituye uno de nuestros principales mandatos y la razón indiscutible de nuestra vocación de servicio a la Patria. Por ello, buscamos fortalecer y mejorar de forma sostenida los servicios consulares y los programas de asistencia humanitaria y protección consular, salvaguardando los derechos de nuestros compatriotas que residen o están fuera del país, que deciden retornar o que desean abrirse nuevos horizontes, promoviendo siempre una migración regulada, ordenada y segura.
La actual situación mundial de emergencia sanitaria, nos ha planteado nuevos e importantes retos que seguiremos afrontando: se ha logrado repatriar a la fecha a cerca de 30,000 connacionales, y se prevé la pronta repatriación de otros 6,000. En el cabal cumplimiento de estas metas, se ha contado también con la significativa participación de las diferentes comunidades y asociaciones de peruanos en el exterior.
En este Aniversario Patrio, los invoco a que sigan inculcando en sus hijos y futuras generaciones nuestro vasto legado cultural y el inquebrantable amor por el Perú. Cada uno de ustedes representa nuestras mejores y más ricas tradiciones, por lo que los insto a mantener el compromiso de trabajo y orgullo por nuestra tierra.
Con profunda emoción les hago llegar un abrazo fraterno y mi mayor deseo de bienestar y prosperidad para ustedes y sus familias.
¡Viva el Perú!
MENSAJE DE SALUDO DEL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA, ING. MARTÍN VIZCARRA CORNEJO, A LA COMUNIDAD PERUANA RESIDENTE EN EL EXTERIOR, CON OCASIÓN DEL 199 ANIVERSARIO DE LA INDEPENDENCIA NACIONAL
Queridos compatriotas:
En ocasión de conmemorarse el 199 Aniversario de nuestra Independencia Nacional, quiero hacerles llegar, en mi condición de Presidente de la República, mi más fraterno saludo en estos tiempos de emergencia sanitaria mundial que vivimos. Han sido tiempos duros, sin embargo, la pandemia ha evidenciado que la unidad y el espíritu de colaboración entre naciones, hoy se encuentra más vigente que nunca, como vigentes se encuentran la voluntad y el coraje de hombres y mujeres que vienen arriesgando sus vidas para ayudar y proteger a miles de peruanos afectados por esta adversa situación que se encuentran en nuestro país y en el exterior. Su vocación de servicio y compromiso con el país contribuyen a la grandeza de nuestra patria.
Son tiempos difíciles en los que nos encontramos, muchas familias han debido mantenerse separadas y varios connacionales han tenido que pedir ayuda a nuestros consulados en el exterior para afrontar tan difícil situación. Siendo conscientes de ello, mi Gobierno ha asumido el ineludible compromiso de atender a quienes se vieron imposibilitados de retornar al país por el cierre de fronteras.
En ese sentido, desde un inicio se tomaron acciones pensadas en prevenir la gravedad del estado de emergencia, asignando recursos para la atención, protección y ayuda de quienes más lo necesitaban. Quiero que sepan que en mi Gobierno seguiremos apoyando a cada una de las personas que se han visto afectadas por esta situación adversa en el exterior. Desde mediados de marzo hasta la fecha logramos repatriar cerca de 30 mil peruanos y lo continuaremos haciendo con los seis mil que aún desean regresar a su país en medio de esta coyuntura.
La pandemia del Covid-19 ha tenido un fuerte y negativo efecto en los cerca de tres millones doscientos mil peruanos que residen en el exterior, los que, a su vez, con su esfuerzo diario han efectuado remesas de USD $3,326 millones, en el año 2019, según el informe oficial del BCR, generando un importante y positivo impacto en la economía peruana, contribuyendo al desarrollo de nuestro país. El desarrollo de nuestra comunidad en el exterior también es una oportunidad que nos ayuda a superar la situación económica en la que nos encontramos, y que juntos vamos a vencer. Este es otro importante motivo por lo que la defensa de los intereses y todos los derechos del migrante peruano y su familia en el exterior adquiere la mayor relevancia para mi Gobierno.
Nos encontramos a un año de cumplir el bicentenario de la nación, lo cual marcará un hito para reflexionar sobre estos doscientos años de nuestra historia. Desde que fue proclamada nuestra Independencia un 28 de julio de 1821 hasta el día de hoy, los retos han continuado por este sinuoso y largo sendero. Son estos momentos, donde podemos demostrar que somos un pueblo fuerte y perseverante, que no se dejará abatir por las circunstancias y que nos daremos la mano para seguir adelante.
Sabemos que la situación económica mundial puede perjudicar a la gran comunidad de compatriotas que residen en el exterior, pero mi Gobierno, su Gobierno, no los dejará de lado; a través de nuestros consulados estaremos pendientes de ustedes y sus necesidades. Buscaremos también la manera de reintegrar a quienes, en algún momento de ese largo recorrido en el exterior, tomen la decisión de regresar a nuestro país, a través de los incentivos de la Ley 30001, Ley de Reinserción Económica y Social para el Migrante Retornado.
Por todo ello, queridos compatriotas, al conmemorar el 199° aniversario de nuestra independencia nacional, les hago llegar mi más sincero reconocimiento por todos los esfuerzos que llevan a cabo para consolidar su bienestar en medio de esta pandemia global, demostrando la solidaridad y la fortaleza del pueblo peruano.
Queridos compatriotas les extiendo ánimo y esperanza para continuar con esta lucha, de la cual, estoy seguro que saldremos victoriosos.
¡Felices Fiestas Patrias!
¡Viva el Perú!

The President of the Business Council, Mr. Montri Mahaplerkpong (vice-chairman of the FTI), noted that in the current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the trade conflicts that preceded it, the Thai private sector believed assuming a greater role in generating trade and investment to be most urgent. Latin America is a zone with the highest interest that has been little addressed and known by Thai entrepreneurs.
On behalf of Peru, Ambassador Fernando Quirós showed his appreciation for this important initiative launched by the private sector, underlining Peru's economic and commercial openness, as well as the country's potential to do business and receive investment, the existing bilateral Free Trade Agreement in force since 2011, the active participation of Peru in APEC and ASEAN, and Peru's recent adhesion to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC).
