Peru pays homage to Armed Forces members

15:19 | Lima, Sep. 24.

Peruvian Armed Forces members commemorate their day on September 24 by complying with their mission at diverse bases and units across Peru.

In this sense, they protect the territorial integrity, as well as reinforce the national security and defense. 

At the same time, personnel of the Army, Navy, and Air Force carry out tasks that contribute to the national development. 

These actions include providing assistance to the population affected by natural phenomena, saving lives through air-medical evacuations, as well as bringing social programs and medical attention to the inaccessible communities of the Amazon and Lake Titicaca

Within this framework, the Defense Ministry released a video featuring members from each institution.

In the video, they talk about the efforts undertaken for Peru's benefit, such as protecting the coast, transporting the injured citizens, responding quickly to emergencies, fighting illegal mining, and supporting the delivery of health services, among others.
