The presence of the President of the Republic, Keiko Fujimori, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum will serve to reaffirm the ties between the Peruvian economy and this vital global trade region, stated Juan Carlos Capuñay, former Peruvian Ambassador to China and Japan.
In remarks to the Andina news agency, he noted that "Peru’s economic and commercial structure is fundamentally linked to the Asia-Pacific," which serves as its primary trading partner—a region that includes China, Japan, and the United States.
"Therefore, her [President Keiko Fujimori’s] presence is significant in that it reaffirms the bond that the Peruvian economy maintains with the Asia-Pacific," he stated.
He further explained that APEC encompasses two distinct spheres: the summit itself—an informal setting—and a series of formal bilateral meetings.

"President [Keiko Fujimori] is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade prospects, future investments, and opportunities for technical cooperation; she will also hold meetings with other leaders," Capuñay explained.
"In my view, her presence carries this dual significance: participating in the assessment of the regional economic landscape, while also reaffirming Peru’s interests in the Asia-Pacific—specifically regarding trade and investment," he added.
As previously reported, the President will travel to China and Japan between November 15 and 21 to participate in the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Summit, which will take place in the city of Shenzhen.
Furthermore, an official visit to Japan will take place, during which the tenth anniversary of the Strategic Partnership between the two countries will be commemorated, and a summit meeting will be held in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
