The
session aimed to highlight the new diplomatic mission's role in strengthening collaborative relations between this autonomous body of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Peru, as well as to continue working on the accession process to this global benchmark in public policy.
During the meeting, the ambassador highlighted Peru's strategic positioning in the context of energy transition, given the importance of critical minerals, particularly copper, and considering the South American country's vast mineral and energy resources as well as its potential in renewable energies.
In this regard,
the diplomat welcomed the relevance of the dialogue initiated with the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) to explore opportunities for collaboration and cooperation with Peru.
The
International Energy Agency (IEA) works with governments and industry to shape a secure and sustainable energy future. It was established by the
OECD and currently comprises 32 member countries, as well as 13 associates, including Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Africa, and India.
The latter has requested full membership, whereas three of the four countries in the accession process are from Latin America: Chile, Colombia, and Costa Rica.
