President Dina Boluarte on Monday highlighted the training that 20,000 young people will receive in new technologies, as part of an alliance with private companies, which will provide them with new tools to overcome barriers and seize new opportunities.

"Cooperation agreements with strategic partners are very valuable; they focus on strengthening key human potential to advance toward a society that leverages and masters the use of digital technologies," she indicated.

The top official said the training that 20,000 young people will receive is intended to open doors to a future job in which they can perform better for the benefit of their families and the country.

"This is what our government is aiming for, giving young people the opportunities they did not have before. That is why we celebrate the launch of Plataforma Cultiva Talento Digital (Cultivate Digital Talent Platform), thanks to the collaboration agreement signed between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Huawei Peru, signed in China," she indicated.

Mrs. Boluarte explained that this initiative will directly benefit 20,000 young people from various regions, with training in new information technologies, helping shape a new generation of professionals who will contribute to Peru's economic and technological development.

The president recalled that during her official visit to China, she visited the city of Shenzhen, which was built in less than 50 years and is interconnected with 5.5G technology, successfully integrated into human activities.

"As a government, it is our duty to continue strengthening international relations and showcase Peru. We must generate trust. We have a stable economy and peaceful social activity; we are generating formal jobs. This is the path that we must take to lead the country, enough with the polarization," she expressed.

Within this framework, President Boluarte reiterated that the government aims to provide young people with job opportunities and a better quality of life, a goal that is supported by cooperation agreements with strategic partners in the private sector.

She particularly highlighted that the training programs to be offered in this program include one dedicated especially to women, given that education is a key component for their development and empowerment, especially for those who are in vulnerable situations.

"I would like to express my deep gratitude to Huawei for its commitment to promoting digital talent in Peru. Collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential for achieving our national goals," she said.

President Boluarte participated in the presentation ceremony of the "Cultivate Digital Talent" program held at the Foreign Affairs Ministry headquarters in Lima.
