recently highlighted the similarities and social and economic complementarity of the bilateral relationship.
Ambassador Schialer stressed
Peru's interest in convening, in the short term, bilateral mechanism meetings to contribute to coordination and cooperation in matters of defense and security, as well as to the fight against transnational organized crime.
He highlighted Trinidad and Tobago's generous response to Peru's request for 100 units of immunoglobulin to treat Guillain-Barré cases.
Both authorities welcomed the recent signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of the Political Consultation Mechanism between the two countries.
He also said that Peru is interested in holding the first meeting in 2025.
During a meeting of
Ibero-American Foreign Affairs Ministers, the Peruvian diplomat applauded the initiatives of the
Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB) that
strengthen Ibero-American values and culture, as well as the flow of bi-regional cooperation, including towards middle-income countries.
Similarly, he welcomed the appointment of new Ibero-American Deputy Secretary, Ambassador Jose Federico Ludovice.
The diplomat said that the initiative should be based on very specific projects. Therefore, he proposed prioritizing the joint fight against organized crime, particularly drug trafficking, as one of its pillars.
He also thanked the delegations for having supported the candidacy of former Foreign Affairs Minister Jose Antonio García Belaunde for the EU-LAC Foundation Presidency, presented by Peru last July, as proof of the commitment to bi-regional integration.
