The
President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Monday affirmed that the Government and the business community must work together to help solve major problems such as inequality and poverty, so as to improve the quality of life of more citizens.
"Today, it is necessary to build an equal and fair society. Especially in the Andean and Amazonian regions, where the presence of the State is needed, but the State cannot do this work alone. We are convinced that we have to do it together with the private sector," he said at a meeting with investors and entrepreneurs in New York City.
The Head of State noted that he is convinced education is one of the fundamental pillars to promote development in countries, too.
"I call on you to invest in them (the countries), so that the population becomes more aware that only education can save the peoples," he remarked.
In addition, the dignitary called for a head-on fight against corruption, a scourge that must be eradicated so that future generations realize that everything must be done transparently, so as not to harm citizens.
"A number of ex-authorities are fugitive and behind bars. So, we think it is important to take a look at it so that future generations, not only in Peru but in other countries, can see that things can be done in a transcendent manner," he stated.
Likewise, he emphasized that his Government is respectful of democracy, as well as of national and international investments, which are important for the stability of the country.
"In the political arena, we are extremely respectful of democratic life. We ask you (entrepreneurs) to join us in said democratic line to continue shaping the destiny of our country, to give stability and security to national and foreign investment, without producing distrust," he added.
