After concluding his agenda in France, Prime Minister Arroyo will arrive in Madrid, Spain, on June 4 to carry out activities aimed at positioning Peru as a reliable partner and a safe destination for investment.

The centerpiece of the visit will take place on Friday, June 5, when he participates in the roadshow "Peru: Investment Opportunities in Infrastructure and Public Services."
