Peru President: Gov't, entrepreneurs should agree on competitiveness policy

19:10 | Paracas (Ica region), Nov. 30.

Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra addressed the business community on Friday to propose a joint agenda along with the Government in order to reach a competitiveness plan for the Inca country.

"You have done your part as well. We cannot go in two parallel lines, we have to agree on it (the plan), work on it, and develop just one document that guides all Peruvians," the top official expressed. 

In this sense, the statesman pledged to work tirelessly with all sectors, so the President who succeeds him in the Bicentennial —on 28 July 2021— can receive the nation in better conditions and ready for its third century. 

Furthermore, he asked all entrepreneurs to commit themselves and believe in Peru by complying with high technical and ethical standards. 

"I invite you to innovate, to develop your business ventures with social and environmental responsibility, to defend your goals as business people," President Vizcarra said. 

"But also, to have in mind Peru includes everybody, Peruvians from the coast, highlands, and jungle who deserve to live better (…)," he added. 

Competitiveness 

"Our challenge is to improve performance," the top official indicated. 

Likewise, the Head of State pointed out his administration has created a National Competitiveness and Productivity Policy, which he described as an essential tool. However, it is not official yet. 

"For that reason, we welcome today's proposals from the business sector," the statesman expressed.
