Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Javier Gonzalez-Olaechea met with Japanese counterpart, Yoko Kamikawa, to whom he reiterated satisfaction over the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations (1873-2023).

Both officials expressed the commitment of the Foreign Affairs Ministries of Peru and Japan to the roadmap agreed upon by President Dina Boluarte and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida last August, aimed at strengthening and deepening the Strategic Partnership, as well as the wish to include new areas of cooperation.
