The National Government's commitment is to continue working with regional governors for the development and progress of citizens, Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra said on Friday.
His remarks were made during the swearing-in ceremony of National Assembly of Regional Governments (ANGR) Chairman Servando Garcia.
In this respect, the Head of State reaffirmed his political will to work hand-in-hand with regional governments in order to consolidate the objectives set as a country, a commitment that has yielded positive results.
On the matter, he said reducing significantly anemia in children is a remarkable achievement in this shared effort to fight poverty and inequality, as it has marked a turning point to reduce the indicators for this condition, which has a negative impact on the development of children.
In addition, Mr. Vizcarra noted that in the first month of 2020, public investment totaled S/1.023 billion (around US$302 million), up 89% compared to January last year.
"This is a very important execution, which will continue in February, and should be maintained until the fiscal year is over. A greater execution translates into projects in favor of Peruvians, such as roads, channels, schools, hospitals, and productive works throughout the country," he emphasized.
