Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra on Monday evening inaugurated the final stage of the 2019 National School Sports Games in Lima.
"That is very important because we have started to integrate all Peruvians," he stated in this sense.
The President noted that the students —who reached the final stage— had gone a long way which had begun last May with the participation of 800,000 competitors from 20,000 schools.
"2,600 schoolchildren from all over the country have arrived here, to whom we wish the best success," he said.
The Head of State was joined by Ministers Flor Pablo (Education), Edgar Vasquez (Foreign Trade-Tourism), Gloria Montenegro (Women-Vulnerable Populations), and Jorge Moscoso (Defense); Lima Mayor Jorge Muñoz; as well as Lima 2019 Organizing Committee (COPAL) Chairman Carlos Neuhaus; among others.
The event was held at Manuel Bonilla Coliseum in Miraflores district.
