Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Cesar Landa held a working meeting with Canadian counterpart Mélanie Joly —within the framework of the 52nd General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) in the Peruvian capital, Lima.

During the event, the ministers talked in favor of the promotion of human rights and democracy.

The dignitaries addressed, among other issues, the need to continue strengthening the bilateral relationship —both economically, as well as in cooperation for social, inclusive, and sustainable development.

Similarly, both parties recognized the importance of the cooperation received by Peru from Canada, as well as the high level of Canadian investment in productive sectors such as mining and hydrocarbons.

Another of the topics addressed during the meeting was the process of Peru's accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Peruvian Foreign Affairs Ministry reported on Wednesday.

The 52nd General Assembly of the OAS will take place in Lima from October 5 to 7 in person —after being held virtually over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
