The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Sunday affirmed that his Government will continue working to strengthen foreign policy and international relations.


"We continue to work, always seeking the development of the country. This time, we are heading to New York (City), United States, to strengthen foreign policy and international relations within the framework of my participation in the General Debate of the 77th Annual Session of the United Nations General Assembly," the dignitary wrote on his Facebook page.

Mr. Castillo travels accompanied by the First Lady of the Nation Lilia Paredes, as well as an official delegation composed of Ministers Cesar Landa (Foreign Affairs), Kurt Burneo (Economy and Finance), Roberto Sanchez (Foreign Trade and Tourism), and Rosendo Serna (Education).

Last Thursday, during a plenary session, most legislators authorized President Pedro Castillo to travel to the United States, from September 18 to 22, to participate in the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

Peru's Vice-President Dina Boluarte will be in charge of the Office of the Presidency of the Republic during the President's official visit.
