Speaking during the
enactment of the said policy, Del Solar highlighted measures taken by President Kuczynski's administration in favor of indigenous peoples, like the launch of the first
newscast in Quechua and the inclusion of self-identification of ethnicity in the coming national census.
Del Solar noted the government thus acknowledges all of its citizens should be progressively catered for regardless of their mother tongue.
"We must guarantee their [indigenous languages'] intergenerational continuity; we must reinforce and develop them so they are also present in mass media and our cultural industries."
Lastly, Del Solar assured the newly-enacted policy would contribute to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of public services, helping preserve cultural legacies and thus prevent
discrimination.
"Today, we tell our brothers from 55 indigenous peoples and the 47 languages spoken in our country: we think about you, and we will carry on working for you," he concluded.
