As part of her work agenda in Germany, the President of the Republic Dina Boluarte will arrive in Berlin on Friday to hold a meeting with Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, with the aim of strengthening bilateral relations, as well as revitalizing the visits of high-ranking German authorities to Peru.

As is known, the Peruvian dignitary is taking part in a number of activities in Europe in order to promote foreign investment and a cooperation agenda for the development of Peru.

Earlier, the Head of State participated as a guest of honor at the "Latin America Day," an event organized by the Business Association for Latin America (LAV), in which she highlighted the ties between Peru and Germany.

Likewise, Mrs. Boluarte presented Peru as a "reliable partner in the international arena," noting that her country has a "serious and structured economic policy that has been continuously implemented for more than 30 years, which is characterized by macroeconomic discipline, fiscal solvency, and trade openness."

Work agenda

As part of her work agenda, President Boluarte will also travel to Rome and then to the Holy See, where she will be received by Pope Francis in a private audience.

"This official visit is intended to promote, strengthen, and develop the relations between Peru and the Holy See, which have historically remained solid and positive, supported by the religiosity of the Peruvian people, based on mutual respect, autonomy, freedom of worship, and are legally based on the Agreement between Peru and the Holy See of 1980," according to an official letter sent by the Executive Branch to Parliament so that the latter can authorize the presidential trip.

In addition, the Head of State will meet with the Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, with whom she will address bilateral issues such as the recognition of the support of the Catholic Church in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic; the exchange of points of view on the main issues on the international agenda; among others.

Meeting at FAO

Finally, in Rome, the Peruvian President will hold a meeting with the re-elected Director-General of the FAO, Qu Dongyu, which will be relevant for the country as it will allow discussing the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation signed in December 2021 between FAO and the Peruvian State.

The official letter also indicates that the event will contribute to promoting a cooperation agenda with said organization in a sensitive matter for the country, and will explore the impact on agriculture in the coming months due to the El Niño Phenomenon.

Furthermore, the meeting will be a prelude to the World Food Forum titled "The transformation of agri-food systems accelerates climate action," scheduled for October 16 in Rome.
