The
President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Monday affirmed that the country’s resources, such as natural gas, have to be for Peruvians, mainly for the most vulnerable.
His remarks came during the ceremony marking the installation the one-and-a-half million natural gas connections milestone in Lima and Callao, in the district of Comas.
This natural gas connection was provided for the benefit of the Comprehensive Development Center for Families (CEDIF) called Año Nuevo (New Year).
The dignitary remarked that his Government is working together with the private sector to achieve said goal.
"Peru’s resources have to be for Peruvians, and that is what we are doing. We are undertaking a joint effort with private industry and the State, but doing things right," the country’s top official said in his speech.
Likewise, he called for reaching areas beyond Lima and Callao, so that this important resource can spread to more regions across the country.
On the other hand, the President commented that he talked to
Colombian President Gustavo Petro to exchange experiences in this regard, as natural gas is highly spread in said country.
"From here, I want to address the newly elected authorities, mayors and regional governors, so that together we can pay attention to citizens and their major needs," he stated.
