Peru's Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Ignacio Higueras received the greeting from Slovakian Ambassador Rastislav Hindický, who is participating in the Fifth Pacific Alliance Cooperation Forum.

At the meeting, the Ambassador reiterated Slovakia's support for Peru's accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

In addition, both authorities highlighted the high level of bilateral relations and the objective of further strengthening them.

The meeting also served to highlight Peru's interest in executing specific cooperation initiatives with Slovakia, an Observer State of the Pacific Alliance.

On January 25, 2022, the OECD Council decided —by consensus— to invite Peru to start the process of accession to this institution.

Subsequently, in June 2023, Peru submitted its Initial Memorandum, which is a self-assessment of the country's legislation, policies, and practices against OECD standards and best practices.

The OECD is an international organization, whose goal is to build policies for better lives and to promote those that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity, and well-being for all.
