Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Ana Cecilia Gervasi on Thursday met with Yasutoshi Nishimura, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and Chairman of the Japan-Peru Parliamentary Friendship League.

According to a statement posted on its social media page, the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that the meeting addressed common trade ties and the strengthening of Peru's role in Japanese value chains. 

Likewise, Minister Gervasi recalled the proposal made by the President of the Republic Dina Boluarte and the understanding reached with Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to work on a Road Map that will strengthen the bilateral relationship, mainly in areas of trade, investment, cooperation, science and technology.

The high-ranking officials highlighted the meeting to be held by the Peruvian Japanese Business Council (CEPEJA) in Tokyo, on November 9 this year, which will bring together senior authorities such as Peru's Central Reserve Bank Governor Julio Velarde, Foreign Trade-Tourism Minister Juan Carlos Mathews, as well as leading Peruvian companies.

Moreover, they proposed to develop a pilot project for Peru, in order to expand and diversify Japanese investment in the South American country.

Finally, the Foreign Affairs sector's head invited Minister Nishimura to visit Peru in 2024.
