Prime Minister Denisse Miralles on Tuesday stated that air cargo is a key driver of Peru's foreign trade, allowing the South American country's products to reach major international markets swiftly.
The event takes place in Lima and is organized by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Global leaders gather to analyze the future of logistics and international trade at the symposium held in South America for the first time.
"During her remarks, she (Miralles) highlighted that air cargo is a key driver of foreign trade," the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) reported on X.
"It moves 23% of Peru's export value, more than US$20.7 billion, allowing high-value products to reach the world's main markets swiftly and safely," the government agency added.
In her remarks, the Cabinet chief also noted that President Jose Maria Balcazar’s government promotes the signing of Addendum No. 5 to the concession contract for the second group of airports.
The measure will allow investments worth over US$424 million to modernize airport infrastructure in various Peruvian regions.
"Connectivity, investment, and openness to the world consolidate Peru's vision as a regional logistics platform. With more infrastructure, trade, and international cooperation, the country strengthens its economic integration and expands opportunities for Peruvian products to reach more markets," the PCM underscored.
