13:30 | Lima, Nov. 3.

Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Cesar Landa on Thursday projected that the participation of President Pedro Castillo at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, to take place in Thailand this month, will increase confidence in Peru and strengthen ties with said region.

In remarks to RPP Noticias, the Cabinet member affirmed that the Head of State's presence is aimed at attracting sustainable and responsible investments from a region where the South American country's largest trading partners are located.

The government official recalled that Peru had hosted APEC twice, adding that the third occasion is coming in 2024. Thus, it is important that the Head of State travels to Thailand.

At said event —he announced— Peru's top official would meet with his counterpart from China, Xi Jinping.

Last Wednesday, the President of the Republic requested Parliament's authorization to travel abroad, from November 14 to 21, to attend the 29th Economic Leaders' Meeting at the APEC Forum and related events in Bangkok.

On November 18-19, the APEC Leaders' Meeting will address the main challenges for the Asia Pacific, such as global economic recession, disruptions in supply chains, plus food and energy security.

Mr. Castillo also plans to participate in the APEC CEO Summit, on November 17, and meet with business associations from said bloc to present the opportunities offered by Peru for investment.
