The Head of State met with the President of the Lima 2027 Organizing Committee, the President of Panam Sports, and the President of the Americas Paralympic Committee to be briefed on the ongoing work plan and the strategic roadmap for next year's Pan American and Parapan American Games.
During the meeting, the top official emphasized that, as President of Peru, she feels deeply proud that the country will once again host these sporting events.
Fujimori said progress has not been made at the required pace, as reflected across different parts of the State but that, as new Head of State, she is there to correct those shortcomings and accelerate the process.
Addressing sports leaders and athletes, the top official said she will accompany them whenever necessary and coordinate meetings with the Ministers of Economy-Finance and Education.
The President greeted athletes across the country, saying they are a true example of what it means to lead a life of discipline, perseverance, and resilience.
"I am confident that these Games will allow athletes to showcase their talent and inspire all young people to continue practicing sports, and that anything in life can be achieved when one prepares, and when one perseveres in pursuing one's dreams with method and discipline," she underscored.
President Fujimori also addressed multiple-time Olympic gold medalist in artistic gymnastics Simone Biles of the United States, welcoming her to the country and saying that she is an inspiration to young people. She added that she was confident Biles would enjoy her visit to Peru.
