Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister Roberto Sanchez on Thursday highlighted the work that the Pacific Alliance has been carrying out, during 11 years since its creation, by having deepened the integration of Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, and turning the bloc into a commercial platform open to the world.

In a video posted on social media, the government official pointed out that we are currently facing a complex international scenario.

"However, (Pacific) Alliance countries are committed to regional integration, and we have been articulating efforts to lessen external shocks in our economies, generating various actions in the committees and technical groups for the economic reactivation of countries," he expressed.

In this sense, the Cabinet member said efforts are being made to strengthen SMEs through their digital transformation and the development of business capacities for internationalization, as well as the creation of an ecosystem of science, technology, and innovation in the region —with a focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, technology transfer, and industry 4.0 technologies.

"From the Peruvian Government we renew our commitment to this integration mechanism, and we are sure that the benefits we have achieved during these 11 years will continue to increase and generate greater well-being, thus overcoming socioeconomic inequality and social inclusion," he concluded.
