Foreign Affairs Minister Oscar Maurtua has affirmed that Peru shows a democratic conviction that is recognized by the United States (U.S.) and the European Union (EU) and stands out for its commercial ties and the potential of its resources.
He stated that Peru's foreign policy is conducted based on principles and foundations of international rights, which are values that are recognized and distinguish us as an emerging, Pacific Ocean-based, Andean, and Amazon nation that respects international treaties.
"It (Peru) shows a democratic conviction that is recognized by the European Union, through Josep Borrell (High Representative of the EU), and by the Government of President Joseph R. Biden, upon receiving recently the credentials of the new Peruvian Ambassador to Washington D.C., thus reaffirming this link (with our country)," Ambassador Maurtua said in an interview with TVPeru.
In addition, the high-ranking official commented that he has received positive comments from the Foreign Affairs Ministers of Russia and China (
Sergei Lavrov and
Wang Yi, respectively), with whom he spoke by phone regarding Peru's projection and the potential of its resources.
Vaccines
"We now have a volume that allows us to make donations to third parties. We are properly equipped. A proactive policy was introduced and we helped to implement it properly with State operations and transactions and thanks to global programs such as COVAX," he remarked.
Moreover, the diplomat announced that vaccines for the vaccination of children between 5 and 12 years of age are duly envisaged, noting that the issue of immunization is always the first to be addressed at all sessions of the Council of Ministers.
Cabinets
On the other hand, he affirmed that the Binational Cabinets with neighboring countries show the priority that the Government's policy places on its environment.
