MISTURA FAIR CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OF RIMAC

12 July 2017

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.

MENSAJE SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPUBLICA POR FIESTAS PATRIAS 2017

27 July 2017

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!

 

Pedro Pablo Kuczinsky

Presidente Constitucional de la República del Perú

MENSAJE DEL SENOR MINISTRO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES, EMBAJADOR RICARDO LUNA MENDOZA, CON OCASION DEL DIA DE LOS PERUANOS QUE RESIDEN EN EL EXTERIOR.

20 October 2017

Queridos compatriotas:

En ocasión de celebrarse el “Dia de los Peruanos que residen en el Exterior", deseo hacerles llegar, a cada uno de ustedes y a sus familiares, un afectuoso saludo, en nombre del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y de todos los  que trabajamos en esta institución.

En esta fecha, el Estado peruano reconoce a los compatriotas que dejaron físicamente la patria para construir, con esfuerzo y sacrificio, un proyecto de vida con nuevas oportunidades y desafíos. Por ello es encomiable la capacidad que ustedes han tenido para insertarse en una nueva sociedad, donde su creatividad y trabajo han generado importantes aportes a la sociedad de acogida y también al Perú. Lejos de que tal proceso debilite el vínculo con nuestro país, éste retroalimenta la identidad nacional, así como la peruanidad y la imagen de nuestro país en el exterior.

Este gobierno considera de suma importancia a las comunidades peruanas en el exterior. En ese sentido, la Cancillería renueva su compromiso de continuar modernizando los servicios consulares, fortalecer los mecanismos de protección y asistencia, así como fomentar la identidad nacional y la promoción de los valores nacionales, labor a la que contribuyen con indiscutible acierto las diversas organizaciones y asociaciones de peruanos en el exterior.

Asimismo, se viene trabajando en un dispositivo legal que mejore los beneficios y alcances de la Ley de Retorno, se continúa negociando acuerdos sobre seguridad social y avanzando en la implementación de la Política Nacional Migratoria, lo cual ofrecerá un adecuado soporte a nuestra comunidad en el exterior.

En el “Dia de los Peruanos que residen en el Exterior', at igual que en años anteriores, el Estado peruano, a través del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, reconocerá a 10 compatriotas que han destacado por sus acciones de carácter social a favor de nuestros connacionales o por aquéllas orientadas at fortalecimiento de las colectividades peruanas en el exterior.

AI hacer  público  su   reconocimiento a  este   grupo de connacionales, el   Gobierno del   Perú  desea   felicitar a todos los compatriotas cuyo trabajo y solidaridad en el exterior se han convertido en un motivo de satisfacción  para el país.

Les hago llegar mis afectuosos votos por el bienestar de todos ustedes y de sus familiares.

MACHU PICCHU REMAINS THE DREAM DESTINATION OF 2018

30 January 2018

Inca sanctuary can be enjoyed all year round without inconvenience.

Local authorities have reinforced measures to preserve it.

 

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.



How to get there:

1. More than 40 daily flights connect the city of Cusco with Lima, Arequipa, Puno and Puerto Maldonado. Seasonally, there are flights to Trujillo.

2. Once in Cusco, you should take the train to the district of Aguas Calientes. From there, take a bus to the citadel of Machu Picchu.

3. For those who love hiking and adventure, you can get there by following the Inca Trail. For this, it is recommended to plan the trip months in advance. For maintenance, the Inca Trail usually closes in the month of February.

4. The opening hours are divided into two shifts: from 06:00 to 12:00 and from 12:00 to 17:30.

DISCURSO DEL PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA DEL PERÚ

26 March 2018

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.

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.

 

10. Strengthening inter-parliamentary cooperation, encouraging inter-governmental cooperation and the exchange of legislative best practices related to the fight against corruption in our hemisphere.

APUESTA ESTRATÉGICA DEL PERÚ, POR CANCILLER NÉSTOR POPOLIZIO

5 May 2018

“La Alianza del Pacífico, en suma, se ha convertido en una herramienta imprescindible para contribuir al desarrollo de nuestros países”

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.

MENSAJE DEL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA CON OCASIÓN DEL ANIVERSARIO DE LA INDEPENDENCIA NACIONAL

27 July 2018

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.

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.

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.

PALABRAS DEL VICEMINISTRO HUGO DE ZELA POR EL DÍA DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES

3 August 2018

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.

PALABRAS DEL CANCILLER NÉSTOR POPOLIZIO POR EL DÍA DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES

3 August 2018

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.

PALABRAS DEL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA POR EL DÍA DEL MINISTERIO DE RELACIONES EXTERIORES

3 August 2018

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.

AIR TICKET KLM BKK-LIMA-BKK RAFFLED ON THE OCCASION OF THE PERU NATIONAL DAY

9 August 2019

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 DEL SEÑOR PRESIDENTE DE LA REPÚBLICA, TRANSMITIDO A NIVEL NACIONAL EL DOMINGO 16 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2018

21 September 2018

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

PACIFIC ALLIANCE COMMEMORATED THE DAY OF THE GALEON OF MANILA IN BANGKOK

8 October 2018

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.

SPEECH OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS JAIME POMAREDA AT THE OATH TAKING CEREMONY

6 May 2019

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.

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.

      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.

The first shipments of up to 3,226 kg. each, arrived in Bangkok by air, immediately after the Ministry of Agriculture of Thailand approved the phytosanitary protocol to import this Peruvian fruit and successfully completed the audit of the premises of the Peruvian packers and exporters.

He also indicated that when Thailand approved the phytosanitary permit for the Peruvian Hass avocado, the harvest season in Peru had already begun and the exporters had their product committed to other markets but, in view of the quality, freshness, good shelf live and acceptance of the Peruvian fruit, he will seek to ensure a greater supply of this product in the 2020 season.

      MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS ON THE OCCASION OF THE "DAY OF PERUVIANS RESIDING ABROAD"

      18 October 2019

      Lima, October 18, 2019

       

       

      Dear Compatriots:


      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.

      INFORMATION ABOUT CORONAVIRUS

      31 January 2020

      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).

      FIRST PERUVIAN HASS AVOCADOS CONTAINER FROM 2020 SEASON'S ARRIVED IN THAILAND BY SHIP

      22 May 2020

      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.

      MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS FOR THE 199TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE REPUBLIC OF PERU

      28 July 2020

      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!

      Lima, 28 de julio de 2020

      A Bid for the Future: An Auction to Benefit CTTC
      The pandemic has halted all tourism in Peru since March 15 and closed the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco (CTTC), and the village weaving centers it supports. Thanks to our donors’ past generosity, Andean Textiles Arts (ATA) was able to provide emergency funds immediately to help weavers who were suddenly left without income from their work. We also raised funds to keep CTTC employees working and weavers weaving at home so textile products can be ready for sale when tourism returns.
      But funds are still needed to sustain the center’s work with weavers through the months ahead and beyond. Your participation in our fundraising auction, A Bid for the Future, will provide that additional assistance. So start the bidding, and treat yourself to some exceptional Andean textiles!

      About the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco:
      CTTC is a non-profit organization established in 1996 by Andean weavers and their supporters. The mission of the center is to aid in the survival of Cusqueñan textile traditions and to provide support to the indigenous people who create them. CTTC works with ten weaving communities (about 650 weavers and their families) in the Cusco region of Peru on a fair-trade basis to help rescue and revive traditions, and promote the weavers and their work.

      THAILAND - LATIN AMERICA BUSINESS COUNCIL MEETS WITH LATIN AMERICAN AMBASSADORS

      25 August 2020

      The first session of the newly created Thailand-Latin America Business Council took place today with 9 Latin American Ambassadors accredited to Thailand (Argentina, Cuba, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, and Panama), who were designated as "honorary members". The formation of this Business Council was initiated by the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB), the main representative entity of the private sector formed by the Board of Trade of Thailand (BOT) under the Chamber of Commerce (TCC), the Federation of Thai Industry (FTI), and the Thai Bankers’ Association (TBA).

      The Business Council includes companies in areas such as food, mining, manufacturing, energy, machinery and equipment, aviation, trade, and services (bank, tourism, hotels, transportation, construction) that already do or wish to do business with Latin American countries. Thai government institutions such as the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, of Commerce, and of Industry, the Board of Investment, and the Export-Import Bank of Thailand are also participating as honorary members.

      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).

      EMBASSY OF PERU PROMOTES PISCO COCKTAILS IN BANGKOK

      14 December 2020

      On Friday 11, the Embassy of Peru in Thailand organized a training session for the preparation of pisco cocktails, the national drink of Peru, in the Peruvian restaurant and Rooftop bar "Above Eleven" in Bangkok. The training was conducted by Peruvian chef Víctor del Campo and was aimed at a group of bartenders. The cocktails chosen on this occasion for the training were the "Pisco Sour" and the "Chilcano de Pisco".

      The training began with general information on the origin and characteristics of the signature drink of Peru, the making process, and its different varieties, followed by a detailed explanation of the preparation of "Pisco Sour" and "Chilcano". The participating bartenders, as well as the management of the prestigious Rooftop bar, were grateful for the training received and showed in practice to be ready to prepare the best pisco cocktails.

      The Embassy of Peru will continue to promote pisco in different restaurants and bars in Bangkok that have this product in their menus and hopes that many of them can join the celebrations for the "Pisco Sour Day" next February.
