At the first APEC 2025 Senior Officials' Meeting in South Korea, the Peruvian delegation —led by its Senior Official to APEC, Ambassador Renato Reyes— obtained the support and cooperation of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council and the Asia-Pacific Energy Research Centre (APERC) to foster the implementation of the Lima Roadmap and clean hydrogen guidelines.

These instruments were proposed by Peru and adopted by consensus during its APEC Presidency in 2024 to promote the transition to a formal and global economy, as well as to develop roadmaps on clean and low-carbon hydrogen in the Asia-Pacific region.

This collaboration represents an opportunity for our country to access new technologies and knowledge that will allow it to advance in the development of these initiatives.

The Pacific Economic Cooperation Council —of which Peru has been a member since 1991— agreed in a meeting with its Acting Secretary General, Dr. Kaewkamol Pitakdumrongkit, to support Peru in developing studies that contribute to the implementation of the Lima Roadmap and green hydrogen guidelines.

Likewise, Ambassador Renato Reyes and APERC President, Dr. Irie Kazutomo, agreed to cooperate on implementing the guidelines on clean energy through activities in key areas: standards and certifications, and market development for clean hydrogen.

These actions will be incorporated into APERC's regular work plan.

The APEC 2025 First Senior Officials' Meeting and Related Meetings (SOM 1) was held in Gyeongju, South Korea, from February 24 to March 9.

Peru hosted APEC for the third time in 2024, following the 2008 and 2016 editions.
